The History and Mythology of Kumbh Mela: A Journey Through Time

Talking about the mythological significance of Kumbh revolves around the churning of the ocean, or Samudra Manthan, as it is called. The gods and demons did it to get the invaluable jewels and the nectar of immortality or Amrit. The ocean was churned, Mount Mandrachala becoming a churning stick, and the King of the Snakes, Vasuki, acted as the rope.  Lord Vishnu took the form of a tortoise, providing the base for Mandrachala with the fear that it might slip and submerge in the ocean. The story represents the churning of our minds to go deep into ourselves, from where all auspicious things arise, ultimately leading to liberation.
