Kumbh Mela is one of the sanctified festivals of India and according to the scholars when Gods and demons were having fight over the nectar then Lord Vishnu flew away with the pot of nectar trickling few drops of nectar at four different places and it is there that we celebrate Kumbh-melas- Haridwar, Nashik, Ujjain and Prayag.
The celebration depends on the position of Jupiter and the sun.
When the Sun is in Aries and Jupiter in Aquarius, it is celebrated in Haridwar.
When Jupiter is in Taurus and the Sun is in Capricorn, then kumbh is celebrated at Prayag.
When Jupiter and the Sun are in Scorpio , then kumbh is celebrated at Ujjain
When the Jupiter and the sun falls on the zodiac sign, Leo; then Kumbh Mela is celebrated at Trimbakeshwar in Nasik.
