The sacred bathing ghat on the bank of Ganga is believed to be the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and the legendary Saraswati river. The evening Aarti ceremony here is worth attending.
The Maha Kumbh Mela "great festival of the pot of nectar of immortality" is held every three years in each of four different locations, returning to each of four places every twelve years. An Ardh (half) Mela (festival) takes place six years after the Maha Kumbh in each location.
