Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Simhastha Kumbh Mela

When Jupiter enters Leo, the banks of the Godavari in western India host the largest pilgrimage on earth. Ash-smeared naked ascetics charge into the sacred pool brandishing tridents, while banners, elephants and drums of every sect stretch for kilometres, all so that millions can immerse themselves at the auspicious hour. The 2027 Nashik Kumbh is a spectacle of faith that this generation will rarely see again.
