Every 12 years millions of Hindu followers gather at Allahabad for the Kumbh Mela in a mass pilgrimage to the place where the Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Sarasvati rivers meet . The confluence of the 3 rivers is also known as Triveni Sangam . This place is believed to be the same place where drops of Amrita, the nectar of immortality, fell from the hands of God. The Hindu followers believe that bathing at Triveni Sangam will wash away the sins and clear the path to heaven.

Cada 12 anos milliones de seguidores hindues se juntan en Allahabad, para celebrar el Kumbh Mela en un gran pelegrinacional sitio donde el Ganges, el Yamuna  y e mitico rio Sarasvati se juntan. A la confluencia de estos 3 rios sagrados se le llama tambien Triveni Sangam. Este sitio se cree que es el mismo donde unas gotas de Amrita, el nectar de la imortalidad, han caido de las manos de Dios. Los pelegrinos hindues creen que banandose en el Sangam se van a limpiar de los pecados cometidos y preparar su camino al paraiso.
