The Mela commences the following Monday and ends on February 26, the day of Mahashivratri. Mela sources claim the seers will reside at the Juna Akhara camp being constructed at a reserved site.

Also present at the Mahakumbh will be Yogmata Mahamandaleshwar Keiko Aikawa, alias Swami Kaila Mata from Japan, who will lead foreign monks in prayers for world peace.
