Rituals At Kumbh Mela

The prominent ritual to follow without fail is to allow your body and soul to get in contact with the Holy River [the event of Bathing in the Sacred River] with the pure heart.

The devotees settle a tent at the camping area – they wake up early morning chanting the names of various God and Goddesses – they leave with a pair of clothes in order to take a bath in the sacred river and then they go back to their tent and cook food with lesser means; a huge population of pilgrims gather at one place and sing various devotional songs – they dance in happiness and celebrate their past and make themselves ready to face the present. Some pilgrims also participate in various religious events such as Hawan etc.

Two time of the day is really fascinating – one can literally feel Goosebumps arising on their bodies [The early Morning Aarti and the Evening Aarti].

This fair is something, which introduces you to a whole new way of living life. The Sadhus living in the tents of the camp area shares n. number of instances related to the basics of life and they even exchange a longing conversation if you wish to listen to their life story.

A life without leisure and amenities is even nicer [you get to witness how simpler or tougher life can get].
