Kumbh Mela
is a mass Carnival of Hindu pilgrimages for faith in which
Hindus gather to bath in a sacred river in Ujjain it was River Shipra. It is the world's
largest religious gathering. It is held every
third year at one of the four places by rotation: Haridwar,
Allahabad (Prayag), Nasik and Ujjain. Thus the
Kumbh Mela is held at each of these four places every twelfth
year. Ardh ("Half") Kumbh Mela is held at only
two places, Haridwar and Allahabad, every sixth year. The rivers
at these four places are: the Ganges (Ganga) at
Haridwar, the confluence (Sangam) of the Ganges and the Yamuna
and the mythical Saraswati at Allahabad, the
Godawari at Ujjain, and the Shipra at Ujjain.These time Ujjain is Becoming the Host for Kumbh Mela in 2016 . Shri Mahakal the Lord of Destroyer is the king of Ujjain and With his blessing the Kumbha carnival is about to held from 22 April to 21 May 2016.
