Abstract: TThe Mahakumbh Mela, the world’s largest spiritual gathering, is held every twelve years at four sacred locations in India: Prayagraj (Allahabad), Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik. Rooted in ancient Vedic traditions, this event is not only a religious and cultural phenomenon but also a reflection of India’s deep scientific and astronomical wisdom. This research paper explores the historical, spiritual, and socio-economic significance of Mahakumbh, along with the scientific and astronomical aspects that determine its timing. It also highlights the environmental and management challenges associated with this massive congregation and suggests sustainable solutions for future celebrations. Key words: Mahakumbh, kumbh, spiritual, scientific, mela
