Ujjain Kumbh Shahi Snan
Sacred bathing dates and spiritual significance explained
Shahi Snan is the most sacred and spiritually powerful ritual of the Ujjain Kumbh Mela. On these auspicious days, saints, akharas, and millions of devotees take a ceremonial holy dip in the Shipra River. Understanding Ujjain Kumbh Shahi Snan dates helps pilgrims plan their journey with clarity and devotion.
The upcoming Ujjain Simhastha Kumbh will take place in 2028. Shahi Snan days are determined by specific planetary positions and are considered extremely beneficial for spiritual purification.
Shahi Snan refers to the royal bathing procession led by major akharas and saints. These processions follow traditional orders, chants, and rituals before entering the Shipra River.
Due to the massive gathering on these days, security arrangements and movement controls are strictly enforced.

Each Shahi Snan date is aligned with rare astrological combinations involving Jupiter, Sun, and Moon. Bathing on these days is believed to remove past sins and grant spiritual elevation.
Because of extreme crowd density, pilgrims are advised to follow structured access plans and avoid last minute travel.
