(10.2.11) Singhasth Kumbh Parva

Singhasth Kumbh Parva /Why Kumbh Parva  is called Singhasth Kumbh Parva 
Kumbh Parva or Kumbh mela is held at four places i.e. Prayag, Haridwar, Nasik and Ujjain. The celebration of Kumbh mela depends on the particular position of Jupiter and Sun in different Zodiac signs.
When Jupiter is in Leo ( Singh Rashi ) Sun is Cancer ( Kark Rashi ) and Moon is in Cancer ( Kark Rashi ), Kumbh Parv is celebrated at Nasik.
When Jupiter is in Leo ( Singh Rashi ), Sun is in Aries ( Mesh Rashi ) and Moon is in Aries ( Mesh Rashi ), Kumbh Parva is celebrated at Ujjain.
As at Nasik and at Ujjain the Kumbh Parva is celebrated when the planet jupiter is in Leo ( Singh Rashi ), so the Kumbh Parva celebrated at these two places are called Singhasth Kumbh Parva.
Singhasth Kumbh Parva has religious importance as well as social importance. Common people, Sadhus, Saints and religious heads in large number come here to attend Singhasth Kumbh Prava .

At Nasik, Kumbh fair is held at the banks of the river Godavari. At Ujjain, Kumbh fair is held at the banks of the river Kshipra.
Why is Kumbh Parva celebrated
By charning the ocean (Samundra Manthan ) , the Gods and the demons got fourteen Ratnas, the virtuous jewels.
Among these fourteen Ratans, a Kumbh ( Pitcher ) full of Amrit ( nectar ) also emergod. When the gods and the demons saw this pitcher. They tried to have it in their possession. Just then Jayant, the son of Indra ran away taking the pitcher of nectar with him. During his journey of twelve divine days, he took rest at four places. These four places are Haridwar, Prayag, Ujjain and Nasik. At these four places some drops of nectar spilled (dropped). For the possession of the Amrit  Kalash ( the pitcher of nectar ) a fierce battle took place between the gods and the demons. It lasted for twelve divine days which are equal to the twelve human years. So the Kumbh fair is held at these four places every twelve years. Besides these four Maha Kumbh parva, Ardh Kumbh parva is also celebreted  at Haridwar and Prayag.
