The festival dates back to the pre-Vedic period, as even in the Vedas, the Kumbha Mela is described as a tradition that has already existed and was well established. The popularity of the Kumbha has only increased over the millennia, gathering millions together every 12 years at each of the four holy places in which the auspicious event occurs, making it the world’s largest gathering of people on Earth for one common purpose.
