Historical importance of MahaKumbh Mela 2025
According to the belief, Maha KumbhMela 2025 is related to Samudra Manthan. According to the story, once Indra and other gods became weak due to the curse of sage Durvasa. Taking advantage of this, the demons attacked the gods and the gods were defeated in this war. Then all the gods together went to Lord Vishnu for help and told him everything. Lord Vishnu advised to churn the ocean along with the demons and extract Amrit from there. When the pot of Amrit came out of the Samudra Manthan, Lord Indra’s son Jayant flew into the sky with it.
Seeing all this, the demons also ran after Jayant to take the Amrit Kalash and after a lot of effort, the Amrit Kalash came into the hands of the demons. After this, a war was fought between the gods and demons for 12 days to establish their right over the Amrit Kalash. During the Samudra Manthan, some drops of Amrit Kalash fell in Haridwar, Ujjain, Prayagraj and Nashik, hence the Maha Kumbh Mela is organized at these four places.
