Published on December 3, 2024

Onora Hospitality, rapidly establishing itself as a prominent homegrown brand in India’s luxury and premium hospitality sector, has joined forces with Shivir to manage two exclusive luxury tented accommodations for Maha Kumbh 2025. The properties—jüSTa Shivir Jhusi and Bookmark Resort, Naga Shivir at Mandleshwar Nagar Juna Akhada—are designed to deliver a unique, unforgettable experience. Catering to travellers looking for both indulgence and cultural immersion, these accommodations will offer a luxurious stay amidst the grandeur 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.”

Nestled along the serene banks of the Ganges in Jhusi, jüSTa Shivir Jhusi offers an exquisite retreat with 140 luxury tents spread over 20 acres. Enveloped on three sides by the river and its tranquil backwaters, the property promises uninterrupted views and a serene escape amidst the vibrant atmosphere of the Maha Kumbh. The tents range from 480 sq. ft. premium tents to spacious 900 sq. ft. luxury suites, each equipped with en-suite bathrooms, elegant furnishings, and modern conveniences. The culinary experience will feature two kitchens offering a variety of multi-cuisine vegetarian and Jain specialties, with an emphasis on authenticity and flavour.

Bookmark Resort, Naga Shivir, located within the historic Mandleshwar Nagar Juna Akhada, offers a deeply spiritual experience. This intimate property features 35 premium tents, placing guests at the heart of the Maha Kumbh, where they can witness the rich traditions of Naga sadhus and other spiritual leaders. Guests will have the rare opportunity to participate in rituals, yajnas, and daily aartis, immersing themselves in the essence of the Akhada’s spiritual culture.

Both properties will host a curated array of activities designed to elevate the guest experience. These will include the chance to join the royal procession of the Akhadas on Shahi Snan dates, daily yoga sessions, yajna and hawan ceremonies, and evening cultural performances showcasing traditional music, dance, and storytelling. Guests can also enjoy guided boat rides and explore the fascinating history of Prayagraj during non-bathing days.

Strategically situated, jüSTa Shivir Jhusi offers direct access to the Sangam without the crowds found at other locations. It features private parking, spacious layouts, and a peaceful atmosphere that resembles a resort. Meanwhile, Bookmark Resort, Naga Shivir at Mandleshwar Nagar Juna Akhada places guests in the midst of the Akhada’s vibrant energy, offering unparalleled proximity to key events and ceremonies. Both properties focus on guest comfort, featuring premium amenities, luxurious tent interiors, and seamless logistics to ensure a smooth experience during the bustling Maha Kumbh.
