The Kumbh festival is held in highest regard as the ritual bath in the sacred water on this day saturated with flower & incense fragrance amidst chanting of vedic hyms and mantras liberates one from all suffering and miseries of life . The festival is held at Allahabad, Ujjain, Nasik and Haridwar . The festival is held in each of these locations in cycles of 12 years. Kumbh Mela considered the most sacred of festivals where the ceremonial dip in the Holy river is an important ritual.
