- The Kumbh Mela is the world's largest spiritual gathering, deeply rooted in Hindu tradition and mythology. It is held every twelve years in rotation across four sacred cities-Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik-each situated along the banks of holy rivers. Millions of saints, sadhus, devotees, and seekers from across the world come together to take a ritual dip in the sacred waters, believing it leads to spiritual liberation. The festival is not just a religious event but a grand confluence of faith, philosophy, culture and tradition.
In 2025, Prayagraj is hosting the Maha Kumbh, an even rarer and more significant occasion that takes place once every 144 years. From January 13 to February 26, the city has transformed into a spiritual epicenter, drawing millions of pilgrims.
Food at the Kumbh Mela is more than just nourishment-it is a spiritual offering, a symbol of discipline, and an act of selfless service. Guided by Holy Waters Journey, we explored the profound relationship between food and faith through three key aspects: the kitchens of the Akhadas, the humble meals of the Kalpavasis and the grand scale of the Bhandaras.
The Akhadas are monastic orders of saints and ascetics. The sadhus residing in these Akhadas follow strict spiritual and dietary practices, preparing sattvik food-simple, vegetarian meals without onion and garlic-that align with their way of life. Food is considered sacred, and the act of cooking and sharing it is an extension of their spiritual practice.
Kalpavasis are pilgrims who renounce all worldly comforts for the duration of the Kumbh, choosing to live in temporary shelters by the river. Their days are spent in prayer, meditation and bathing in the holy waters, and their food habits reflect this austere lifestyle. They prepare their own meals, often consisting of simple grains, lentils, and fruits, consuming only what is necessary to sustain themselves while dedicating their time to spiritual pursuits.
The Bhandaras, or community kitchens, are one of the most striking aspects of the Kumbh Mela, where the spirit of service comes alive on an unimaginable scale. Organized by religious institutions, charitable groups and individual devotees, these kitchens provide free meals to thousands of pilgrims, saints, and the underprivileged. The scale of these operations is staggering. Feeding the masses at the Kumbh is considered an act of immense spiritual merit, and countless volunteers dedicate themselves to this service, reflecting the deep-rooted tradition of hospitality and charity in Indian culture.
The sheer magnitude of feeding millions at the Maha Kumbh left us awe-struck-a powerful testament to faith, devotion, and communal harmony.

जैसा कि उम्मीद थी अनुभव सप्रा जी से। वैसा ही कुंभ का vlog आया। बहुत बढ़िया और शांतिपूर्ण। हालांकि कुछ लोगों को ये वीडियो पसंद नहीं आएगा क्योंकि इसमें oye होय ,अमूल मक्खन ,बाहुबली चीज़ या स्पेशल मलाई जैसी बड़बोली डिशेज नही मिलेगी
good video sir ji

One of the best videos of Delhi food walks till date 🎉
I'm glad you liked it! 😊
That's why I like his channel...he not only covers authentic food , but whole culture and natural environment
I'm a long time subscriber even if i cannot understand a word spoken in your videos, i still enjoy everything you feature. I hope you'll consider English subtitles for us non indians.
We do add subtitles in all our videos. Though it takes some time to do the same/ Please check out our old videos.
@delhifoodwalks thank you for replying I'm from the Philippines the subtitles I see are in hindi not English. I'm really fascinated by the Indian culture specially the food🥰 more power Sir!

Our respects for Delhi Food walks and Anubhav and his teams have increased infinitely today.................You and your teams are blessed to cover the greatest and Holiest congregations in the world..........This kind of congregations will not be seen until hundred plus years................By that time the Earth would be inhabited by fresh breed of Humans. Everyone at present will be long gone ..............What an experience.............May Lord Shiva bless the whole world with peace and prosperity and replenish our Mother Earth and the Universe.........May the Lord also bless the sweet souls of the people who lost their lives recently there and bless them with eternal peace and Moksha.........❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Best vlog so far in this channel. Very good narration and very well presented !!
अनुभव जी, बेहद शानदार एपिसोड!
एक सरल भाषा मे कहु अनुभव जी आप एक पहले व्यक्ति है जो महाकुंभ २०२५ को सात्विक तरीक़े से एक्स्प्लोर कर रहे है ।👏👏👏
Kripya bhakto ko diye bhojan ko ‘Prasad’ kahiye, aur ‘Prasad’ jahan balata hai usse ‘Bhandara’ kehate hain.
Very very nice and spritual video.sub ki zabaan kitni meethi hai.awsome
Love from katachi
Thank you for the kind words! 🙏
Om Namah Parvati Pataye Har Har Mahadev @Delhi Food Walks bhaut bhaut badhiya coverage yeh wala.
Dhayanwad! 🙏 Kalpwas dikha kar aap e bahut acha kiya. Yahi asli kumbh hai. Aapne asli kumbh dikhya hai. Monalisa ke peeche bhagana aur reel banana Kumbh katai nahi hai.
I'm glad you agree that the true Kumbh is about spiritual immersion.
It's very nice and spiritual video 🙂↔️🙏🏻❤
Justtt ummmaddaaa
Sir aap video ka thumbnail change kijiye
Thanks a ton Anubhav for the upload,divine service be it discourses by the gurus and acharyas or anna dhaan or the devotees who have undertaken self restraint, it's impossible to see such devotion anywhere else in the world,scale at which this congregation has assembled and the way administration has undertaken to administer and control is mindboggling
Jai Srimannarayana
Har Har Mahadev
Vande Mataram
Jai Hind

Perhaps the best vlog among all the food vloggers I follow. Thanks Anubhavji.
Very nice video love you from Bihar ❤❤
Quite a surprise,
Overwhelmed !
Consuming satvik ann, leads to satvik living... also, as one undergoes transformation the choice of food changes... to more simpler.
Yeah...
Beef khane wale bhi Mahakumbh ja rahe hai ? Satvik khana kha rahe hai.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I can feel the difference that editing team has gone up to next level. B.G.M was next level. Thumbs Up.
kuch youtubers,kuch reelers,kuch farzi patrakar mahakubh ko bade negative tarike se dikha rahe hai ya phir faltu ki chizo ko viral kiya ja raha hai jiska mahakumbh se koi matlab hi nahi hai wahi dusri or Harish bali ji aur anubhav ji ke aap videos dekhiye kitne acche tarike se mahakumbh ko darshaya ja raha hai..
Thanks anubhav to make this type of unique video
Yaar Anubhav Sir superb vlog aap sabse alag ho maan gaye Guru🎉
Iitian baba abhay singh ji se jarur milna
Wow.
So well and exceptionally planned video. Amazing content. Totally loved how you covered different perspective. Amazing!!!!
Stampede wali jagah kaha hai
There is no relation between food and spirituality.
Eggs are vegetarian
Nhi. Nonveg
Nice video, But in thumbnail you look like Delhi wali Pammi aunty :P
Haha
Ye he asali kumbh spiritual vlog
Mahakumbh ki aatma un logo se jo hai jo yaha pe kalpwasi hai
