Mythological Origin of Kumbh Mela

Haridwar Kumbhs history is extremely old and originates from dates back to the time when Amrita Kalasha was recovered from Samudramanthan. The period of this churning procedure, the Mandara Mountain was used as a churning rod and Vasuki, the king of serpents, acted as the rope for churning. In this complete churning procedure, Dhanwantari, the divine healer, appeared with the "Kumbh" containing nectar in his palms, when the Kumbha containing the Amrita Kalasha appeared. After this a tense war between Devtas and Asuras ensued.

For 12 days and 12 nights the gods and demons fought in the sky for the possession of this pot of amrita. And it is said that during the battle, drops of amrita fell on to 4 places of India i.e Haridwar, Ujjain, Allahabad and Nasik.
