Nashik Kumbh First Amrit Snan: Monday 2 August 2027
The first amrit snan of the Nashik–Trimbakeshwar Simhastha is on Monday 2 August 2027, at Ramkund in Nashik and Kushavarta in Trimbakeshwar.
The day is the new moon that ends the month of Ashadha in Nashik's amanta calendar. It is the first of the three Amrit Snans of the Nashik–Trimbakeshwar Simhastha. It falls in the monsoon, so rain and river levels shape the day.

What happens on the day
- Before the day: the Kumbh Mela Authority’s plan sets out outer and inner parking with shuttle buses to the inner areas, and walking is the only way from inner parking to the ghats, akharas and temples. The police traffic and parking notice for 2 August had not been published when we checked.
- The tithi: Ashadha Amavasya (amanta) prevails at sunrise and lasts until 3:34 pm, by the Tirth panchang for Nashik.
- Nashik, Ramkund: the Vaishnava akharas bathe here. At the first shahi snan of 2015, on 29 August 2015, the three Vaishnava akharas went in procession from the Laxminarayan temple in Tapovan to Ramkund and bathed one after another: Nirvani first, then Digambar, then Nirmohi.
- Trimbakeshwar, Kushavarta: the Shaiva and Udasin akharas bathe here, about 30 km away, an arrangement the Nashik district traces to the Peshwas. In 2015 the Juna Akhara bathed first at Kushavarta, followed by the other Shaiva akharas.
- After the akharas: pilgrims bathe at the ghats and kunds the police direct them to. The 2027 order and timings have not been announced. Amrit Snan days usually draw the most pilgrims; follow police and mela instructions on the day.
