Nashik – a holy pilgrimage centre in Maharashtra
Nashik was one of the places where the drops of Amrit fell from the heavens. The celestial story of Samudra Manthan is at the root of Kumbh Mela celebrations. Another reason is the origin of the Godavari River, which is considered to be among the holiest rivers in India. The Samudra Manthan event was the main reason why the Kumbh Mela has been celebrated for centuries. Nashik is also one of the sacred pilgrimage centers in Maharashtra. The Trimbakeshwar Temple is one of the 12 Jyotirlinga temples of Lord Shiva, and it is located very close to Nashik. Lord Ram visited Nashik during his exile period in the times of Ramayana. Many ascetics, rishis, sages and holy men have meditated here on the banks of the Godavari River. All these things have made Nashik a very sacred pilgrimage site in Maharashtra.
Longer duration of Nashik Kumbh Mela 2027
You should remember that in the last Kumbh Mela held in Prayagraj, the area was larger compared to Nashik. In Ramkund and in Sadhu Gram, the area is much less than in Prayagraj. This is the reason that the Kumbh Mela in Nashik will be longer in duration. Doing so will give more time for tourists to visit Nashik, and it will lessen the crowds largely. This will result in better crowd management and prevent unfortunate incidents like stampedes.
Tent stay during Kumbh Mela 2027
You should do a tent booking very early if you want a decent stay during the upcoming Kumbh Mela in 2027. You should remember that as the Nashik Kumbh Mela 2027 will be a huge event, all the tent bookings will be full within no time. So you should plan your 2027 Nashik Kumbh Mela visit at least 3-4 months in advance. Most probably, you will stay in the tented accommodation in Nashik Kumbh Mela venues. The tents will be in an area where you can just walk up to the bathing ghats along the Godavari river banks. You can stay in Deluxe Tents, Luxury Tents, Budget Cottages, and Economy Cottages.
