This year Prayagraj is playing host to the unmissable fair of Kumbh Mela (festival of the Sacred Pitcher), the largest congregation of humanity anywhere in the world.
Prayagraj is at its exuberant best when the Kumbh Mela, one of the largest religious congregations in the world, is being held here
Legend has
it that Prayagraj was one of the four sites where a drop of Amrita (nectar)
from the Kumbh (pot), carried by Gods, fell. It is therefore one of the four
venues where the Kumbh Mela is held every 12 years. Haridwar, Nasik and Ujjain are the other three.
.
The Kumbh
Mela is a riot of religious activities, worship, faith, rituals, colours and
celebration, attracts millions of pilgrims who dip themselves in the waters to purify
themselves of the sins.
