Nashik–Trimbakeshwar Simhastha · Amrit Snan
Third Amrit Snan: Nashik 11 September, Trimbakeshwar 12 September 2027
The third and last Amrit Snan of the Nashik–Trimbakeshwar Simhastha is split between the two centres: Ramkund in Nashik on Saturday 11 September 2027 and Kushavarta in Trimbakeshwar on Sunday 12 September 2027.
By long tradition the Vaishnava akharas bathe at Ramkund in Nashik and the Shaiva akharas at Kushavarta in Trimbakeshwar, which is why the two centres have their own days.

What happens on the day
- Before the days: the Kumbh Mela Authority’s plan proposes a strict no-vehicle zone in the mela area, with parking outside it and only walking beyond the inner parking. Police notices on road closures and parking for 11 and 12 September had not been published when we checked.
- 11 September, Nashik: Bhadrapada Shukla Ekadashi prevails at sunrise and lasts until 7:35 pm, by the Tirth panchang for Nashik, which lists the day as Parsva Ekadashi. The Vaishnava akharas bathe at Ramkund.
- 12 September, Trimbakeshwar: Bhadrapada Shukla Dwadashi prevails at sunrise and lasts until 10:12 pm. The Shaiva and Udasin akharas bathe at Kushavarta.
