New Delhi, December 4, 2024: Onora Hospitality has partnered with Shivir to operate and manage two luxury tented accommodations at Maha Kumbh 2025: jüSTa Shivir Jhusi and Bookmark Resort, Naga Shivir at Mandleshwar Nagar Juna Akhada. Designed to offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience, these properties will cater to travellers seeking luxury and cultural immersion during the grand spectacle of the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj.
Regarding their partnership with Shivir, Onora Hospitality’s Founder & CEO Ashish Vohra said, “Maha Kumbh 2025 is a global event of unparalleled spiritual and cultural significance. Our partnership with Shivir combines our expertise in crafting memorable guest experiences with Shivir’s deep understanding of Maha Kumbh’s cultural and spiritual essence. Together, we aim to redefine hospitality offered at this iconic religious gathering and provide guests an extraordinary blend of comfort, tradition, and immersion. Both our camps will serve as sanctuaries of luxury amidst the enthusiasm of the Maha Kumbh, ensuring that guests take back memories and a profound connection with India’s spiritual heritage.”
As per Shivir’s Founder Rajiv Tomar, “Maha Kumbh is a remarkable event that has to be experienced to be believed. I have been involved with the Kumbh Mela since 1998 and through Shivir, I want to share all the experience that I have gained in the last three decades with our guests. We have partnered with Onora Hospitality because they are known for a special human touch towards their clients. Since people will be coming to the Maha Kumbh for spiritual purposes, most of them will be very sensitive and emotional at that time. So, we needed a partner who values these human emotions and will take care of the guests accordingly. In partnership with Onora, we will offer every possible comfort to the guests during their stay at our two campsites.”
Located on the banks of the Ganges in Jhusi, jüSTa Shivir Jhusi will feature 140 luxury tents spread across 20 acres. Surrounded on three sides by the river and its backwaters, the property promises unobstructed views and a peaceful retreat amidst the energy of the Maha Kumbh. Guests will enjoy luxuriously appointed tents, with sizes ranging from 480 sq. ft. for premium tents to 900 sq. ft. for luxury suites. Each tent will boast en-suite bathrooms, premium furnishings, and modern amenities. Culinary offerings will include two dedicated kitchens serving multi-cuisine vegetarian and Jain delicacies, focusing on authenticity and taste.
Situated within the historic Mandleshwar Nagar Juna Akhada, Bookmark Resort, Naga Shivir will offer an intimate spiritual experience. With 35 premium tents, this property will place guests at the epicentre of the Maha Kumbh, providing a rare opportunity to witness the vibrant traditions of the Naga sadhus and other spiritual leaders. Guests can partake in rituals, yajnas, and daily aartis while experiencing the essence of the Akhada culture.
Both properties will offer a curated selection of activities to enhance the guest experience, including a chance to join the royal procession of the Akhadas on the Shahi Snan dates, daily yoga sessions, yajna and hawan ceremonies, evening cultural performances featuring traditional music, storytelling, and dance as well as guided boat rides and local tours exploring the rich history of Prayagraj during non-bathing days.
jüSTa Shivir Jhusi is strategically located to provide direct access to the Sangam without the congestion often associated with other locations. It also boasts private parking facilities, spacious layouts, and resort-like tranquillity. In contrast, Bookmark Resort, Naga Shivir at Mandleshwar Nagar Juna Akhada immerses guests in the vibrant energy of the Akhada area, offering unparalleled proximity to key events and ceremonies.
