Magh Mela 2027 at Prayagraj
Prayagraj holds a Magh Mela at the Sangam every year. In 2027 it is expected from Friday 15 January to Saturday 6 March 2027, with six main bathing days from the Hindu calendar. A Government of India tourism listing gives the same window. The mela authority had not published its own list when we checked.
It is not a Kumbh. Prayagraj’s last Kumbh was the Maha Kumbh 2025, and its next Ardh Kumbh is expected in 2031. The six days are on Magh Mela 2027 bathing days.
