These 4 fairs are held periodically at one of the following places by rotation:
Haridwar, Prayag, Nasik and Ujjain. The main festival site is located on the
banks of a river- the Ganges(Ganga at Haridwar; The confluence(Sangam) of the
Gangees and Yamuna and the invisible saraswati at Prayag; The Godawri at Nasik;
and the Shipra at Ujjain. The holy dip in these rivers is thought to cleanse a
person of all their sins The Kumbh is held once in 12 years.
