PRAYAGRAJ: The Maha Kumbh Mela administration has almost finalised the schedule pertaining to the timing and sequence in which the 13 akharas will undertake the ‘Rajsi Snan‘ (also called ‘Amrit Snan’ and ‘Shahi Snan’) on three main bathing days of the Maha Kumbh 2025.
The three major bathing days when the akharas will perform ‘Rajsi Snan’ are Makar Sankranti (Jan 14), Mauni Amavasya (Jan 29), and Basant Panchami (Feb 3).

The 13 ‘akharas’ have been divided into three categories -Sanyasi, Bairagi and Udaseen. The procession for snan will enter towards the Sangam Nose area from Triveni Marg (sector 20) via two pontoon bridges and return via two other pontoon bridges after taking a dip (Akshayavat and Jagjish).

The first ‘akhara’ that will take the Shahi Snan on Makar Sankranti will be Shri Panchayati Akhara Mahanirvani and Sri Panchayati Atal Akhara, followed by Niranjani and Anand. The next ‘akhara’ to take the Shahi Snan will be Juna Akhara, Panchnam Dhashnam Avahan Akhara and Shambhu Panch Agni Akhara. Following them will be the three Ani akharas: Nirmohi, Digambar and Nirvani. After them will be Naya Udaseen and Bada Udaseen.
Though Akhil Bhartiya Akhara Parishad maintained that it would follow the instructions of the mela administration regarding the timing and sequence of the ‘akharas’ taking the Rajsi Snan, the parishad had its reservations.
