India has the most colourful and complex culture. The way people look, their language and food, their way of dressing, music and dance; everything is different every 50 or 100 kilometers in the country. And one place where you can really see the complexity of this culture is the Kumbha Mela.
Yet again the largest spiritual gathering in the world, the Simhastha Ujjain Kumbh Mela, is about to take place this year from April 21 to May 22nd, 2016. During this, the devotees from around the world will gather for a dip in the holy Shipra River and it is expected o attract about 50 million people from across the country and abroad.
People brave the extremely hot weather to take this journey of faith, especially on main bathing dates. This year the first Snan in Ujjain will be held on April 22. The arrangements have already begun to transport the pilgrims to their desired destination. Since the bulk of pilgrims use trains as their mode of transport to travel, Indian Railways have announced Kumbh Special trains. Most of them will run between Ujjain, Bhopal, Nagda and Bairagarh stations These Special trains will be available from April 20-30. Below are details of the trains.
