What is the best time to visit Kumbh Mela for photography?

The best times are during the major bathing dates or shahi snan dates when the largest crowds gather and the most significant rituals occur. These are the days when Akharas & Nagas come for snan. These dates are Makar Sankranti on 14th January 2025,  Mauni Amavasya on 29th January 2025 and Basant Panchmi on 3rd February 2025.
