The Dhwajarohan (flag-hoisting) ceremony is scheduled for Oct 31 at Ramkund in Nashik, where seers of the Vaishnav sect will gather, and Kushavarta Teerth in Trimbakeshwar, where seers of the Shaiv sect will assemble for the Kumbh Mela in August and September 2027. Because key religious zones like Nashik’s Ramkund and Trimbakeshwar’s Kushavarta are heavily congested, advanced micro-management and meticulous planning are being implemented to prevent any mishap,” Mahajan said. The site is currently closed to pilgrims due to ongoing development work.

Invitations have been extended to President Droupadi Murmu , the chief minister, cabinet ministers and other dignitaries. Addressing concerns over water security amid prevailing drought conditions, Mahajan assured that there would be no shortage of water during the mega-event. “Planning of water is being done in the manner that there will be no waste of it. At Trimbakeshwar, we are going to recycle and re-use the water for bathing. Besides, Simhastha Kumbh Mela falls during the peak monsoon months — roughly three months after the rains begin — water scarcity or reservation issues are ruled out. Infrastructure projects, including roads, ghats and civic amenities, are progressing rapidly. With the first holy bath scheduled for August, the administration aims to complete the works by June or July. Land and property acquisitions are also underway, with compensation being provided to facilitate preparations for the massive influx of pilgrims. Download the TOI App.
