History and Spiritual Significance
The origins of the Kumbh Mela are deeply rooted in ancient Hindu traditions, serving as a congregation for spiritual discourse, cultural activities, and ritualistic bathing. The Triveni Sangam holds immense spiritual importance, as bathing here is believed to purify the soul and absolve sins, facilitating liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
Mythological Background
According to Hindu mythology, the Kumbh Mela is linked to the legend of Samudra Manthan (the churning of the ocean) by the Devas (gods) and Asuras (demons) to obtain Amrita, the nectar of immortality. During this event, drops of Amrita fell at four locations: Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik, making them sacred sites for the Kumbh Mela.
