About the Project
Join Us in Providing Warmth and Comfort to Elderly Sadhus at the Kumbh Mela
This Kumbh Mela, we are launching a heartfelt campaign to distribute shawls, caps, and woolen socks to elderly sadhus who brave the cold to attend this auspicious event. The Kumbh Mela, celebrated by millions, is a time of great spiritual significance, but the chilly weather can be particularly harsh for our revered elders.
The Importance of Kumbh Mela
Kumbh Mela is one of the most significant Hindu pilgrimages, held every 12 years at four rotating locations: Prayagraj, Haridwar, Nashik, and Ujjain. It is a time when millions of devotees, sadhus, and pilgrims gather to take a holy dip in the sacred rivers, seeking purification and blessings. The Mela is an unparalleled confluence of faith, culture, and spirituality.
Why We Need Your Help
