Introducing the mythical origins of the Kumbh Mela

According to legend, during the churning of the ocean of milk the “Pot of Amrit” emerged, the nectar of immortality. Both the gods and demons began to fight over it. Seeing this Lord Vishnu transformed into crowing and flying with this pot of nectar. In all this action, four drops of Amrit fell on four holy places in India: Haridwar, Nashik, Ujjain and Prayagraj. These places are now known as Kumbh Mela tirthas and these four places are believed to possess great spiritual power. It is claimed that taking a bath in these sacred waters during particular planetary positions will purge sins, free you from the cycle of reincarnation and grant spiritual enlightenment.
