ποΈ Incredible Ujjain 1: The Story Behind Simhastha Kumbh Mela
Massive gathering of pilgrims taking holy dip at Shipra River
π The Divine Origin of Kumbh Mela
According to ancient Hindu mythology, gods (Devas) and demons (Asuras) once churned the cosmic ocean to obtain Amrit (the nectar of immortality).
When the nectar appeared, a fight broke out between them.
During this cosmic battle, a few drops of Amrit fell on four sacred places β Ujjain, Prayagraj, Haridwar, and Nashik.
That’s why Kumbh Mela is celebrated at these locations.
