Dhanvantari and Kumbha Mela ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- There are episodes connecting DHANVANTARI with the KUMBHA MELA river festival, which takes place once in twelve years at four different places- HARIDVAR, ALLAHABAD, NASIK and UJJAIN. As DHANVANTARI emerged with the pot containing nectar in His palms, a great fight took place between the Gods and demons to wrest the pitcher from His hands. During the fierce battle that took place in the sky, a few drops of nectar fell in the four places referred to. Hence these places became sacred. KUMBHAMELA-S are held at these places to commemorate the divine event. Devotees throng to these places in tens of thousands to purify and rejuvenate themselves with the waters, which are supposed to have within them, the power of AMRITA.
