Is there a specific time of year for Kumbh Mela at Haridwar?

The Kumbh Mela at Haridwar occurs every 12 years (Purna Kumbh) and every 6 years (Ardh Kumbh) based on the position of Jupiter and other planets. The most recent Kumbh at Haridwar was held in 2021. The next Purna Kumbh at Haridwar is expected in 2033. During non-Kumbh years, Haridwar holds various smaller melas, with the Kanwar Mela in Shravan being the largest annual gathering.
