The ancient Tale described a cosmic event in which God(Devas) and Demons (Asuras) collaborated to Churn the ocean in search of Amrit, the Nectar of immortality. This hard effort was motivated by the desire for eternal life and divine conflict Good and evil. It is firmly believed in Hindu religion that during this Tumultuous struggle, the drops of Amrit fell at four distant locations namely at Prayagraj, Nashik, Ujjain and Haridwar and these places have been revered as Sacred since then and each holy place has its own historical importance and relevance in the cosmic saga of creation and rebirth. Therefore Kumbh Mela is not only a mere festival but also a pilgrimage that commemorates the divine origins of these locations where pilgrims firmly believe that they can attain purification, spiritual renewal and purification. This Maha Kumbh is being celebrated after 144 years and thus has a high and pious religious relevance.
