The Kumbh Mela happens once every three years in one of the four locations -?Prayagraj, Ujjain, Haridwar and Nashik. It is one of the world¡¯s largest religious gatherings. Last time, Kumbh Mela happened in 2016 in Ujjain. In Prayagraj an Ardhkumbh is celebrated after 6 years of the Maha Kumbh.
So, in 2019 Prayagraj is hosting the Ardhkumbh. The next Kumbh will take place in Haridwar in 2022. The date for the first holy dip in the Ganges is January 15, 2019 and the last one will be March 4, 2019.
