As the spirit of Mahakumbh 2025 continues to soar after the Maghi Purnima snan, vibrant cultural festivities unfurl across Tent City’s Triveni, Saraswati, and Yamuna pandals starting Friday. Visitors can delight in spectacular performances alongside a Climate Conference set for February 16, marrying spiritual fervour with a commitment to environmental sustainability along the serene banks of the Sangam.
This upcoming weekend will also herald a three-day Bird Festival, while the Ganga Pandal has already set the stage for cultural events since Thursday. Earlier disruptions from a tragic stampede during the Mauni Amavasya bathing festival, which claimed 30 lives, have culminated in a renewed dedication to celebrating India’s rich cultural tapestry without compromise.
Star-studded evenings await as famed Bollywood musicians like Kailash Kher, Mohit Chauhan, and Kavita Seth prepare to mesmerise audiences at the Ganga Pandal. Illuminating the nights, visitors will experience an array of classical music, dance performances such as Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi, alongside captivating instrumental recitals that showcase India’s artistic magnificence.
The International Bird Festival, scheduled from February 16 to 18, promises to showcase about 200 bird species, including rare Indian skimmers and flamingos, with migratory wonders from regions as distant as Siberia and Mongolia. This festival intricately weaves together the threads of Indian culture, nature’s beauty, and scientific exploration for captive audiences.
Additionally, the Uttar Pradesh department of Environment, Forest and Climate Change will convene a Climate Conference focused on “Kumbh ki Aastha aur Jalvayu Parivartan” (Faith and Climate Change). Led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and attended by spiritual leaders and environmental advocates, the conference aims to inspire discourse on environmental preservation and awareness during this sacred gathering.
Cultural festivities are set to resume following the Maghi Purnima snan, with events starting Friday at Tent City’s pandals. A Climate Conference on February 16 and a Bird Festival running from February 16-18 will enhance the experience, blending culture, music, and environmental awareness. Major Bollywood artists and traditional performances are lined up, showcasing India’s artistic heritage along the banks of the Sangam.
The resumption of cultural festivities after Maghi Purnima snan at Mahakumbh 2025 signifies a vibrant merging of spirituality with environmental consciousness. From dazzling performances by leading artists to the enlightening International Bird Festival and Climate Conference, attendees can expect a celebration that is as educational as it is entertaining. The events promise to breathe life into India’s enduring cultural legacy while addressing pressing climate issues.
