Satsang from Allahabad, India, Khumb Mela 2013.

Kumbha Mela festival is organized after every twelve years on the bank of river Ganges in Prayag, Allahabad. Triveni Sangam is the confluence of three rivers. The point of confluence is a sacred place for Hindus. A bath here is said to wash away all of one's sins and free one from the cycle of rebirth. It is that place where on a particular constellation of planets, the two physical rivers Ganges, Yamuna, and the invisible or mythic Saraswati river merges into oneness. This festival is the largest spiritual gathering all around the world. It became a tradition since Vedic time. It is said, according to Hindu belief, that having a bath in the river Ganges while Kumbha Mela, one's karmas are diminished because it is also said, that during Kumbha Mela, God appears to bless the water of the river.
