Haridwar Khumbh: An Auspicious Pilgrimage


Kumbh Mela is an important festival of the Hindu religion. Kumbh Mela is celebrated not only in India as a tradition, but also as a festival. This is such a famous fair, where people are seen taking a dip in the river Ganges as a devotee. It is a festival which is one of the most important festivals of Hinduism.

Kumbh Mela is also very famous due to the festival sites with mythological history. There are many legends and folk tales in relation to the Kumbh Mela, but the oldest and supposedly correct story is related to "Samundra Manthan". Kumbh in Sanskrit means "Kalash", in astrology, it is also the sign of Aquarius sign.

Kalash is called Kumbh. Kumbha means pitcher. This festival is related to the nectar urn which came out during the Samudra Manthan. When the god-asura was snatching the nectar Kalash from each other, some drops of it fell in the three rivers of the earth. Kumbh is organized at the place where these drops fell. The names of those three rivers are - Ganga, Godavari and Kshipra.

Haridwar is related to Aries zodiac. The festival of Kumbh is held in Haridwar on the entry of Jupiter into Aquarius and the Sun entering Aries. Ardh Kumbh is also organized in Haridwar and Prayag at a gap of six years between the two Kumbh festivals.

With more than 70% population Hindu in India the festival becomes the largest festival for the gathering of Hindus.
