Significance of Shahi Snan at Maha Kumbh

The Shahi Snan, or royal bath, is the most sacred event of Maha Kumbh Mela. It is led by revered saints and Naga Sadhus who take the first dip before the general public. Devotees believe that taking a dip on these dates cleanses sins and brings divine blessings.
