The next Sinhastha — Ujjain’s Kumbh — is reported for 27 March to 27 May 2028, with seven parva snans and the shahi snans on 14, 22 and 27 April 2028. Preparation reporting describes some ₹4,500 crore already committed across 120-plus projects.
The Sinhastha falls when Jupiter enters Leo and the Sun enters Aries — a roughly 12-year cycle at the Shipra; the last was 2016. All dates here are reported (preparation-stage); the official notification is awaited and this page tracks it. Checked 02 October 2026.

What it means for planning
- This is the biggest event in our second ring — Ujjain’s Sawan crowds (30 lakh in a week, 2026) are the preview; Sinhastha multiplies them by an order of magnitude.
- Accommodation books years, not months ahead — MPT properties and temple-area rooms will be the first to go; expect state mela-township tents like Prayagraj’s.
- Registration/entry systems will mirror Kumbh practice — watch for a Mela-Authority-style notification in 2027.
- Yatra Alerts carries every announcement — this page’s dates update the day the government notifies.

Reported 27 March–27 May 2028 (shahi snans in April) — notification awaited.
How does Sinhastha differ from Prayagraj’s Kumbh?
Same family of planetary timing, different river and city — the Shipra at Ujjain instead of the Sangam. The Magh Mela-vs-Kumbh explainer covers the family logic.
