Kumbh Mela Cycle (大壺節週期)

The KUMBH MELA cycle — the largest gathering of human beings on earth, timed by Jupiter's twelve-year walk through the sidereal zodiac. The four tirthas' classical conditions, double-sourced from the official Maha Kumbh 2025 astrological statement: Haridwar under Jupiter in Kumbha, Prayagraj under Vrishabha (in Magha, the Sun in Makara), Nashik and Ujjain under Simha. THE LOAD-TIME LAW IS HISTORY ITSELF: six observed melas — Haridwar 2010 & 2021, Prayagraj 2013 & the 2025 Maha Kumbh, Nashik 2015, Ujjain 2016 — each verified against the house ephemeris to have Jupiter standing in the required sidereal rashi (Lahiri, the same ayanamsa every Vedic engine here uses) at the mela's midpoint. And the astronomy independently reproduces the projections: the engine's next Jupiter-in-Simha window covers the announced Nashik 2027 Simhastha, the next Kumbha window lands at Haridwar 2033, the next Vrishabha at Prayagraj 2036–37. THE FAMOUS WRINKLE served, not smoothed: Jupiter's true period is 11.86 years, so melas occasionally come 11 calendar years apart — Haridwar 2010→2021 is the living case. GAZETTE DISCIPLINE for the future: only the computed Jupiter WINDOWS (the astronomical precondition) are served, clearly labeled — exact spans and snan days belong to the authorities and are never predicted. Cultural and astronomical reference — official announcements govern. Pure computation, no LLM.
