Mahakumbh – Ujjain – The years it happened

Ujjain is the holiest city in the Mythology blessed by lord Shiva the Mahakaal. The simhasta Kumbhaa mela is a very pious and celebrated festival in Ujjain as because of the seat of Mahakaal making the manthan possible by consuming the deadly poison which poured out after the churning.

During the Kumbhaa mela astronomical positions are similar which had led to the Samudra manthan in the ancient period with the nectar falling at four different places on earth. The cosmic energy felt during the festival is same which in earlier days the devotees use to feel and for the same all devotees during this festival gather for a dip in the holy waters. It is said that the waters are so pure that all sins of you and even of your ancestors gets washed.



Legends tell from bygone days of the universe that the demigods and the demons conjointly produced the nectar of immortality. The demigods as cursed and crippled of fear, the task being too sturdy made arrangements with the demons to complete the task by agreeing to share the nectar of immortality in half but demons never got the nectar even after fierce fighting with the demigods. The poison coming out of the churning was gulped by Lord Shiva.

A prevalent legend is the demigods went behind the demons for 12 days and 12 nights, and the drops of elixir of immortality fell at four places. The four places then believed to have acquired mystical powers because 12 days of gods and 12 years of humans are same.so this festival is celebrated every 12 years at river Godavari in Nasik, river Kshipra in Ujjain, river Ganges in Haridwar, and Sangam of Ganges in Allahabad,

Mahakumb

Kumbha the word comes from immortal pot of nectar for which the demigods and the demons fought with each other as per the Vedic scriptures described in the ancient times also known as the puranas. These Vedas stood the test of time wherein this tradition got evolved which is worldly known as the Kumbha mela.

This festival the Kumbha mela is a Hindu festival of faith where devotees gather to take a dip in the sacred holy river. There are widely four recognised fairs of Kumbha mela which are namely The HaridwarKumbha, The AllahabadKumbha, The NasikTrambakeshwar and The Ujjainsimhasta. The fairs are held by rotation periodically at these places.

The festive site is always the banks of Ganges in Haridwar with the confluence of Yamuna, Saraswathi at Allahabad, The Godavari at Nasik and The Kshipra at Ujjain. During the festive period the devotees bathe in the holy waters to wash their sins and make themselves pure by heart.

The Kumbha is held every 12 years with a three year difference in the Kumbha mela held at haridwar and nasik. The Kumbha mela at Ujjain and Nasik are celebrated either the same year or one year apart. The date of the Kumbha mela is calculated as per the vikramsamvat based on jyotisha principles in accordance with the zodiac positions of Jupiter, the moon and the sun. A fact also is that half Kumbha mela is celebrated every sixth year at Allahabad and Nasik with the MahaKumbha mela occurring after 144 years.

As the Hindu mythology goes lord Vishnu dropped few drops of THE DRINK OF IMMORTALITY known as The AMRITA while pouring into a pot called as Kumbha at four places which are the present sites of the Kumbha mela.
