As of February 18, 2025, the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj has been underway since January 13 and is scheduled to conclude on February 26. While specific attendance figures for today are not yet available, the festival has seen significant participation on key bathing dates. For instance, on Maghi Purnima Snan (February 12), over 7.3 million devotees took the ritual dip at the Triveni Sangam and other ghats. Overall, more than 48.83 million people have participated in the sacred baths as of February 12.
The festival is expected to attract over 400 million visitors throughout its duration.
Given the trend, it’s likely that millions more have participated in the bathing rituals between February 12 and today. However, precise numbers for today’s attendance will be available once official reports are released.
