Home | Travel | Travelog   
The fair begins on Makar Sakranti, which is also the first important snan or bathing day and continues for about a month or a month-and-a-half. This year, the mela began on January 14. Every six years, the Magh Mela is upgraded to the Ardh Kumbh or the 'half' Kumbh. Every 12 years, it is the Maha Kumbh.
