Kalpvas is an ancient practice in Hindu tradition, observed for a month from Paush Purnima to Maghi Purnima, primarily at the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers in Tirtharaj Prayag. This ritual signifies a period of intense spiritual discipline and self- purification.
The practice of Kalpvas has been a part of Prayag's spiritual heritage for centuries. The tradition is mentioned in various Vedic texts, including the Vedas, Mahabharata, and Ramcharitmanas, highlighting its deep-rooted significance in Hindu spirituality. A month of Kalpvas is believed to equal one Kalpa, a day of Brahma, symbolizing immense spiritual merit. Observing Kalpvas is thought to bestow virtue and divine blessings. Kalpvas is a period dedicated to self-discipline, self-control, and spiritual purification. It serves as a time for introspection and devotion. According to Indian tradition, the four Ashrams (stages of life) are Brahmacharya (student), Grihastha (householder), Vanaprastha (hermit), and Sannyasa (renunciant). Kalpvas is traditionally observed by those in the Vanaprastha stage, typically after the age of 50, who are transitioning from a householder's duties to a more ascetic life. Kalpvas shares similarities with the Kumbh Mela, a major Hindu pilgrimage held every 12 years, which also involves extended periods of ritual observance and devotion. The Kumbh Mela lasts around 45 days, during which participants engage in continuous worship and rituals.
