The Legacy of Ardh Kumbh Mela
One of the largest religious gatherings in the world, the "Ardh Kumbh Mela", is all set to be organized in the sacred Haridwar town of Uttarakhand state in 2027.
In Haridwar, Har-Ki-Pauri is the spot where the divine nectar is supposed to have fallen, which is why it is regarded as the most sacred Ghat in the entire town. It is an important Hindu pilgrimage event that is celebrated every six years.
During this sacred event, millions of devotees and pilgrims are expected to take a holy dip in the Ganges River, which is believed to get them rid of their sins.

Har Ki Pauri & Brahmakund
Har-Ki-Pauri, translating to "Steps of Lord Shiva," is the heart of the Haridwar Kumbh Mela. It is the exact spot where drops of the divine nectar (Amrit) are believed to have fallen from the celestial pitcher during the Samudra Manthan.
The most sacred Ghat within Har Ki Pauri is the Brahmakund. During the Shahi Snaan, the Akharas and millions of Naga Sadhus lead the procession to take their holy dip here before the general public.
