The Maha Kumbh Mela is the world’s oldest and largest gathering of Human beings on planet earth. Part mass pilgrimage and part festival, millions of people from all over the world – representing every culture, nationality and faith — come together every four years in India on this monumental and majestic occasion. On the day of the Shaahi Snaan (the ‘royal’ dip in the waters), over a hundred million people join hundreds of thousands of ascetics & monks in a glorious procession to experience a sacred dip in the bathing ghats. The sadhus of the various Akhadas, led by Mahanirvani Akhada, take the first dip in the holy Ganga and bless the faithful, marking the auspicious beginning of the Snaan.Sanatana Hindu Dharma Sangha of California is now bringing this ancient and rich vedic tradition to the west by organizing the KumbhMela USA on Feb 22nd in Norwalk, CA at the Excelsior grounds!With Love & Respect, we warmly invite ALL temples and Hindu organizations to be an integral part of this celebration in preserving the Sanatana Hindu Dharma here in the United States.Date:      Feb 22ndVenue:   Excelsior Grounds, 15711 Pioneer Blvd, Norwalk, CA, 90650*GRAND PROCESSION OF ALL TEMPLES &  HINDU ORGANIZATIONS*IMMERSION OF DEITIES IN WATER FROM HOLY RIVERS OF INDIA*KUMBH MELA MESSAGES FROM SWAMIS & SPEAKERS*GANGA ARATI * CULTURAL SHOW
