of Kumbh Mela, let\u2019s first understand what actually this word mean? Well, Kumbh means a vessel of Amrit or in other words, the nectar of eternal life. According to Hindu Mythology, it is believed that a Kumbh with Amrit was found by both Gods and Demons during Samudra Manthan. They both wanted to have it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the fight, in order to take the Amrit from the demons, Garuda (vehicle of Lord Vishnu) took the pot and flew away. During this flight, the nectar of life spilled in 4 places: Haridwar, Ujjain, Prayag (Allahabad), and Nashik that ultimately made all these places and the rivers flowing in the respective cities holy. Since then the Kumbh Mela got started and is celebrated with great zeal and enthusiasm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kunbh-5-1.png\" alt=\"Naga Sadhu\" class=\"wp-image-712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kunbh-5-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kunbh-5-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kunbh-5-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kunbh-5-1-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Did_you_know\"><\/span><strong>Did you know?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, there are no exact dates but the first historical records of this massive event can be discovered in the accounts of the famous Chinese traveler, Hiuen Tsang, who came to our country during the ruling period of King Harshavardhan. He did not mention the Kumbh Mela but talked about a ritual fair organized by King Harshavarshan where a huge number of devotees took a dip at the Sangam of two rivers in Prayaga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_visit_Kumbh_Mela\"><\/span><strong>When to visit Kumbh Mela?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The event never takes place at the same time of the year but on specific dates when the water of the holy rivers is believed to turn into nectar. The correct dates of Kumbh Mela are decided by taking the positions of Sun, Moon, and Jupiter into account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, the month of Magh in Allahabad is considered for organizing the Kumbh Mela because the planets are in the right position. It is also believed that devotees who take a dip during this time help to clean their sins. This year, the best promising days were 14 and 27 January, 6, 15, 17, 21, and 25 February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Shahi_Snaan\"><\/span><strong>The Shahi Snaan <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is said that in the earlier days, Sadhus used to get involved in killings in order to protect their religion. Thus, they believed the only way to cleanse them of this sin would be taking a holy dip in the sacred rivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Triveni Sangam at Prayagraj is the place where one can go and take a bath in the river. On the day of Shahi Snaan or Rajyogi Snaan, the first holy men follow the rituals and take a dip in the river before any common man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/kumbh-6-1.png\" alt=\"Naga Sadhu\" class=\"wp-image-714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/kumbh-6-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/kumbh-6-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/kumbh-6-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/kumbh-6-1-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Snaan is\nconsidered one of the important rituals of the Kumbh Mela that starts the early\nmorning at 4:00 am. You\u2019ll get stunned to see the will power of the devotees\nwho are ready to bathe in the river during the early morning time and too that\nin the freezing weather. These millions of devotees happily go through the pain\nin the name of spiritual belief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Naga_Sadhus\"><\/span><strong>The Naga Sadhus <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the best time of the year and surely the best place that allows you to see the Naga Sadhus, who have turned their backs on all materialistic things, luxuries and pleasures of life. These holy men definitely pain a lifelike picture at the Kumbh. They are the most faithful devotees of Lord Shiva who are often seen with coils of matted hair and naked bodies covered with the holy ash. Also, you\u2019ll see them carrying a trident crowned with human skulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kumbh-2019-2-1.png\" alt=\"Shahi Snaan\" class=\"wp-image-717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kumbh-2019-2-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kumbh-2019-2-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kumbh-2019-2-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kumbh-2019-2-1-600x338.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, they look\nferocious but actually, they are most the non-violent group of people who\nbarely have human contact and are never seen in the public except in the Kumbh\nMela.
