What is the nectar bath in Mahakumbh, why do sages wait for this watch for years

The huge religious conference of Mahakumbh is going on in Prayagraj. During this time, royal baths and nectar baths are being done on special dates. Amrit bathing in Sangam city has special significance. Therefore, this day is more crowded than other days.

Near the confluence of Mahakumbh, Naga Sadhu and Sadhu-saint’s akhadas set up their camp and take a dip of faith at Triveni Sangam. But in the Mahakumbh, the nectar bath and the royal bath remain the main attraction for saints and saints.

There is religious belief about the Amrit bath that it gives salvation and the impurities of body and mind are removed. Amrit bath gives fruits like a thousand Ashwamedha Yajna. Especially for saints and saints, this bath has special significance.

Sadhus and saints wait for years for the Amrit bath, because this bath is a special occasion to attain virtue and purity. After bathing the nectar, saints and saints meditate and discuss the knowledge of religion.

In Mahakumbh, the first Naga Sadhu takes a bath at the holy confluence. After this, saints take bath. The reason for this is that bathing of Nagas is considered the center of religion and spiritual energy.

When Shankaracharya prepared a group of Nagas to protect Sanatan Dharma, the saints and saints invited the Nagas to take a bath first. This tradition has been going on since then.

Please tell that today on 3 February 2025, the Amrit bath of Basant Panchami was taken in the confluence of Prayag. After this, now a royal bath will be taken on 12 February Magh Purnima and on 26 February on Mahashivaratri.
