Mahakumbh 2025 to End with a Rare Celestial Event: A Stunning View of Seven Planets

The Mahakumbh 2025 in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, is set to conclude on February 26, marking the end of one of the world’s largest religious gatherings. However, this grand event will end with a spectacular celestial phenomenon—the alignment of seven planets in the sky. Devotees witnessing the final days of Mahakumbh will also get a rare opportunity to observe this once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event.

When and How to Watch the Rare Planetary Alignment?

During the last week of Mahakumbh 2025, seven planets from our solar system—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—will align in the night sky.

The best date to witness this alignment will be February 28, 2025, when all seven planets will be visible on the same side of the Sun.
The best time to view this rare event will be just after sunset and before sunrise.

Which Planets Will Be Visible to the Naked Eye?

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will be clearly visible without any equipment.
Uranus and Neptune, however, will appear faint and will require a telescope or binoculars for a clear view.

Spiritual Significance of This Celestial Event

The coincidence of Mahakumbh’s conclusion and the planetary alignment is considered highly auspicious in Hindu beliefs. Some spiritual leaders and astrologers believe that such cosmic events enhance positive energy and have deep spiritual significance.
