Kumbh Mela at Ujjain :- Kumbh Mela In Ujjain is one
of the most sacred and pious festival celebrated at four places in
India: Nasik, Ujjain, Haridwar and Allahabad. The legend behind its
commemoration quotes the rivalry between demons and demigods at the time
of ‘Samudra Manthan’. It states that once upon a time demigods found
themselves weak and felt deterioration in their strength. Helplessly
they visited Lord Brahma and requested for directions.
The lord showed
them way to nectar by the process of churning the ‘Kshir Sagar. Abiding
Him demigods initiated the churning of Kshir Sagar with the help of
demons under the agreement that the resultant treasure would be divided
among them alternately.It was the turn of demons to receive the treasure
when the divine physician ‘Dhanvantari’ appeared holding the pot of
nectar.His arrival created turmoil among the demigods and demons as both
of them wanted to grab the pot.Irritated by the tussle among them,
Dhanvantari escaped to heaven in order to save nectar.It is believed
that few drops of nectar fell at four different places on earth.Kumbh
Mela is celebrated at Ujjain, Nasik, Haridwar and Allahabad in the
remembrance of this incidence.
