Significance
Simhastha is the Kumbh of Ujjain, one of the four places associated in tradition with the nectar of immortality (amrit), alongside Prayagraj, Haridwar and Nashik. It is held when Jupiter is in Simha rashi, about every twelve years, and millions of pilgrims, saints and akhadas gather on the banks of the Kshipra. The next Simhastha is expected in 2028.
The exact bathing dates (snan) are fixed and announced officially, which is why we have not entered any dates here: they will be added only after confirmation. If you plan to travel, book stays early, use official transport and information channels and be cautious of unauthorised agents. We will share clear guidance on pujan and online sankalp for the period.
