Kumbh Mela, an event that Hindus look forward to every year and every 12 years, is celebrated and celebrated with great pomp and show. For many, it is a fair of spirituality, purification and new beginnings. The term “kumbha” translates as a pot, while “mela” simply means a fair. It is said that after the Samudra mantana, when Lord Vishnu was taking the pot of Amrit away from the asuras, a few drops, 4 to be exact, fell on the ground at 4 different places. And these places later became the places where Kumbha takes place.
