WHY KUMBH FATE ORGANISE EVERY YEAR?
Hinduism believe that Lord Brahma gave gods a piece of advise to rid them of their weakness, caused during the creation of the earth.
Following Lord Brahma's advise, the gods began to churn the ocean to obtain amrit from its waters.
As the task was quite tough, the gods sought the assistance of demons.
The gods, in return, made a deal with the demons that the latter could have half of the nectar that was to obtained from the ocean. The demons agreed to it.
The combined sanctity of the three holy rivers, coupled with the spiritual powers obtained from the pot of nectar of immortality has earned Prayag (Allahabad) as tirtharaja ( the king of holy places).
The confluence of India's three most sacred rivers at Allahabad , Besides the Ganges, there are also two other sacred rivers located at Allahabad, the Yamuna and the Saraswati . Ganges & Yamuna has its earthly origin in the Himalayas.
Whereas Saraswati, is a mystical river which has no physical form.
Its is believed that the Saraswati exists only on the spiritual plane and is not visible to the human eye.
