Kumbh | The Eternal Pilgrimage of Faith

About the Book -

Kumbh by P.K. Srivastava is a profound exploration of one of humanity’s largest and most enduring spiritual gatherings—the Kumbh Mela. Rooted in ancient mythology and centered on the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers at Prayagraj, the book delves deep into the festival’s mythological origins, spiritual rituals, and cultural evolution over millennia. Through a compelling mix of historical analysis, philosophical insights, and personal reflection, the author brings to life the timeless significance of the Kumbh—not just as a religious event, but as a living expression of faith, inclusivity, and India’s civilizational continuity. The book also illuminates the Kumbh’s modern transformation, examining how technology, governance, and sustainability now shape this massive event without diluting its sacred essence. Kumbh is not just a guide—it is an invitation to experience India’s soul through the lens of its most sacred tradition.
