The Magh Mela 2026 has commenced in Prayagraj, a month-long spiritual gathering centered around the Triveni Sangam. Devotees observe rituals, including bathing and charity, with six specific dates considered highly auspicious. The mela, which began January 3 and lasts 44 days, attracts millions seeking spiritual merit. A temporary city is constructed annually to accommodate pilgrims, offering essential facilities and security for the event, which is deeply rooted in Hindu tradition.
