Kumbh Mela (the festival of the sacred Pitcher) is the largest peaceful congregation of pilgrims on earth, during which participants bathe or take a dip in a sacred river. Devotees believe that by bathing in the Ganges one is freed from sins liberating her/him from the cycle of birth and death.

The Kumbh Mela is held every three years, and switches between four different locations –

  • Haridwar (river Ganga)
  • Prayag (Triveni sangam of Yamuna, Ganga and Saraswati)
  • Ujjain (river Kshipra)and
  • Nasik (river Godavari).

The mela returns to each location after a span of 12 years.

Apart from this, there are three other types of Kumbh.

  • The Ardha Kumbh Mela: This is held in Haridwar and Prayagraj once in 6 years.
  • The Purna Kumbh Mela: This is held only at Prayagraj once in every 12 years.
  • The Maha Kumbh Mela: This is held only in Prayagraj once in every 144 years.
