The Maha Kumbh, a spectacle of devotion and faith, will commence on January 13, drawing millions of pilgrims to the sacred banks of the Ganga. Among its many rituals, the Amrit Snan holds a special place, promising spiritual renewal for those who take part.
The Amrit Snan is not just a ritual; it is a transformative experience deeply tied to Hindu cosmology. It is believed that during this time, the alignment of stars and planets imbues the river’s waters with divine energy, making them an elixir for the soul.
Pilgrims partake in this ritual to cleanse themselves of sins and move closer to spiritual enlightenment.
Ritual details: Timing and practices
Bathing during specific hours is considered most auspicious:
- Brahma Muhurta (5:25 am - 6:18 am)
- Vijay Muhurta (2:22 pm - 3:05 pm)
- Godhuli Muhurta (5:55 pm - 6:22 pm)
Post-bath rituals, such as donating food, clothes, or lamps, further enhance the spiritual benefits. Participants avoid using soap or shampoo to honour the sanctity of the ritual.
