– Kumbh Mela 2013 at Triveni-Daraganj-Allahabad (Sangam Nagari,TirthrajPrayag):- Kumbh Mela is the largest and the most unique religious event of the world where millions of people from all walks of life gather to atone for their sins and become free from the cycle of life and death.

The tradition of religious congregation of Kumbh dates back to ancient times where spiritual leaders and mystics, sages and philosophers – all get together with common goal of attaining salvation.

Kumbh is held at four places – At Allahabad (Prayag), it is held at the confluence of three rivers : Holy Ganges,Yamuna and the mystical river Saraswati. At Haridwar, it is held on the banks of Ganges. At Ujjain, it is held on the banks of Shipra river and at Nasik, it is held on the banks of Godavari,Capital of Good Nagari. Poorna Kumbh Or Maha Kumbh Mela is held every 12 years and Ardh – Kumbh is held every six years. Exact time and place of Kumbh festival is determined by the particular Zodiacal positions of the Sun, the Jupiter and the Moon. Thus, the Kumbh Mela is held only when the particular astrological conditions are fulfilled. Therefore, sometimes it may happen only a year apart also at two different locations. To elaborate the point, in 2015, Kumbh is scheduled to be held at Nasik, whereas in 2016, Kumbh is scheduled at Ujjain as well as Ardh Kumbh is scheduled to be held at Haridwar. The next Kumbh is going to be held in January – February 2013 at Allahabad.

Kumbh means Pot Or Pitcher. As per Ancient scriptures, notably Bhagwat Purana, during the churning of Ocean by Devtas (Demi-Gods) and Asuras (Demons), when the Kumbh (Kalash Or Pot) of nectar came out, a fight ensued between the two groups to claim it. During the battle, four drops of nectar fall upon these four places on earth, where Kumbh is being held since time immemorial. During ancient times, the first written mention of Kumbh is found in the travelogue of Chinese traveller Huen Tsang in 7th Century.

Millions of people take ritualistic bath in the Kumbh. It is believed that by bathing during Kumbh, one achieves purification of soul and is absolved of all the sins.

Kumbh Mela is also exceedingly popular among foreigner tourists and visitors. The Mela is unique in many ways. There are large and colourful processions where religious leaders turn out in their full glory along with their disciples to show off their supremacy. Naga Sadhus are the major attraction in Kumbh Mela. These sadhus worship Lord Shiva and are known to be the preserver of faith. They are usually covered in ash and are exotic. They come out only during Kumbh to take the holy bath as they usually live in isolation and do not mix with the mainstream society. There are various Akhadas of sadhus that participate in Kumbh. All these akhadas have their own identity and have their elaborate camps during Kumbh mela. During Shahi Snan, these akhadas are given preference according to their hierarchy for taking the dip. The common public is allowed on the sacred ghats only after the sadhus of various akhadas have taken their holy dip. Apart from these ascetics, there are also silk clad religious preachers who come with all their might and are technologically savvy as well.

The entire Kumbh Mela ground reverberates with chants round the clock and gives the visitors a strange sense of calmness despite all the crowd. It is undoubtedly an experience that cannot be described in few words.

Kumbh's history originates from the beginning of the Creation. All devtas were under the influence of a curse that made them weak and coward, Brahma, (the creator God) advised them to churn the ocean for Amrit (Nectar), intake of which will make them immortal, devtas sough the help of demons for the purpose. gods and demons made a temporary agreement to work together in obtaining amrita (the nectar of immortality) from the Milky Ocean, and to share this equally.The Mandara Mountain was used as a churning rod, and Vasuki, the king of serpents, became the rope for churning. With the demigods at Vasuki's tail and the demons at his head, they churned the ocean for a 1,000 years. Eventually, Dhanwantari, the divine healer, appeared with the "Kumbh" containing nectar in his palms, when the Kumbha (pot) containing the amrita appeared, the demons ran away with the pot and were chased by the gods. By their joint churning Amrit was one of the resultants, found in the last. A battle ensured.For twelve days and twelve nights (equivalent to twelve human years) the gods and demons fought in the sky for the possession of this pot of amrita. It is said that during the battle, drops of amrita fell on to four places : Prayag, Haridwar, Ujjain and Nasik. Kumbha mela is observed at these four locations where the nectar fell.

Maha Kumbh is held after every twelve years, which is once in life time event, if somehow you have missed Maha Kumbh, then other option of similar significance is Ardh Kumbh which held after every 6 years.

Kumbh is held at four places.

Prayag (near the city of Allahabad, in the state of Uttar Pradesh) at the confluence of three rivers Ganga (Ganges), Yamuna and Saraswati. Haridwar (in the state of Uttarakhand) where the river Ganga enters the plains from Himalayas. Ujjain (in Madhya Pradesh), on the banks of Ksipra river, and Nasik (in Maharashtra) on the banks of Godavari river.

In the year 2013, Maha Kumbh is to be held at Prayag (Allahabad).

The combined sanctity of the three holy rivers, coupled with the spiritual powers obtained from the pot of nectar of immortality has earned Prayag (Allahabad) as tirtharaja ( the king of holy places). The confluence of India's three most sacred rivers at Allahabad, Besides the Ganges, there are also two other sacred rivers located at Allahabad, the Yamuna and the Saraswati. Ganges & Yamuna has its earthly origin in the Himalayas. Whereas Saraswati, is a mystical river which has no physical form. Its is believed that the Saraswati exists only on the spiritual plane and is not visible to the human eye.

Kumbha Mela is "the world's most massive act of faith' – the largest congregation of devotees at one place. It is believed that by bathing in the Ganges during Kumbh, one is freed from one's past sins (karma), and thus becomes eligible for liberation from the cycle of birth and death. According to astrological calculations, the Kumbha Mela is held every twelve years and begins on Makar Sankranti, the day when the sun and moon enter Capricorn and Jupiter enters Aries. The astrological configuration on Makar Sankranti is called " Kumbhasnanayoga" and is considered to be especially auspicious, as it is said that the passage from Earth to the higher planets is open at that time, thus allowing the soul to easily attain the celestial world. This year Makar Sankranti falls on 14th January 2013 and the Mha Kumbh Mela shall begin with all the pomp and glory for which it is famous.

It is impossible to capture the festival. Indeed, it is the festival that captures us. Words, film, print, and paper can not do justice to the event — it is the one which has to be experienced personally. Kumbh Mela is the largest gathering of people for a religious purpose in the   world. Millions of people gather on different places for this auspicious occasion. Kumbha is a Sanskrit word for Pitcher, sometimes referred to as the Kalasha. Kumbh Mela is celebrated four times every 12 years, the site of the observance rotating between four pilgrimage places on four sacred rivers: at Haridwar on the Ganges river, at Ujjain on the Shipra, at Nasik on the Godavari, and at Allahabad on the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna and the mythical river Sarasvati. In 2013 from 27th January the Purna Kumbh Mela will be held on Allahabad which occurs after every 12th years.
