Wed Jan 15 23:23:46 UTC 2025: ## Mauni Amavasya Amrit Snan: Second Holy Dip of Kumbh Mela Scheduled for January 29th
**Prayagraj, India** – The second “Amrit Snan” (holy dip) of the 2025 Mahakumbh Mela will take place on January 29th, coinciding with Mauni Amavasya, a highly auspicious day in the Hindu calendar. This event is considered the most significant of the Kumbh Mela’s holy dips.
According to religious beliefs, the Mauni Amavasya Amrit Snan is exceptionally sacred, offering devotees the chance to cleanse their souls and accrue immense merit. The auspicious bathing time (Brahma Muhurta) will begin at 5:25 AM and conclude at 6:18 AM on January 29th. Pilgrims are expected to gather at Prayagraj and other sacred sites to participate in the ritual.
The dates for the Amrit Snans during the Kumbh Mela are determined by planetary positions and astrological calculations. Devotees believe that taking a holy dip during the Kumbh Mela washes away sins and bestows spiritual blessings, potentially leading to moksha (liberation). The Kumbh Mela itself is steeped in mythology, linked to the churning of the ocean and the subsequent distribution of the elixir of immortality.
While millions participated in the first Amrit Snan on Makar Sankranti, the Mauni Amavasya event is anticipated to draw even larger crowds. It’s important to note that the information provided is based on religious beliefs and is not independently verified by TV9 Bharatvarsh.
