The Maha Kumbh Mela 2025, which began on January 13, is now reaching its grand culmination on Maha Shivratri, February 26. Held in Prayagraj at the sacred Triveni Sangam—the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers—the festival is a once-in-144-years spiritual gathering where millions come to take a holy dip and seek divine blessings. While a “Maha Kumbh” occurs every 144 years, a regular “Kumbh Mela” happens every 12 years. This year, the event has not only drawn saints and pilgrims but also some of the biggest celebrities from India and abroad. As the final Shahi Snan on Maha Shivratri marks the conclusion of this grand spectacle today, here’s a look at the Bollywood and international stars who made their presence felt at the Maha Kumbh. 1.
