==Kumbh Mela: Background==
The Kumbh Mela (the festival of the urn) commemorates an event in Hindu mythology when the gods (Devas) and the demons (Asuras) were fighting over an urn that contained the nectar of immortality (Amrita). During the fight, four drops of nectar fell to Earth and landed in the four locations where the Kumbh Mela is now held on a three-yearly rotation: Allahabad (Prayag), Haridwar, Ujjain and Nasik. The 2001 event at Allahabad was also known as the Maha (great) Kumbh Mela, occurring only once every 12 Kumbh Melas, or every 144 years. The Kumbh Mela is one of the largest human gatherings in history, with an estimated 70 million people attending the 2001 event〔(Millions bathe at Hindu festival ) ''BBC News'', January 3, 2007.〕〔(Kumbh Mela pictured from space - probably the largest human gathering in history ) ''BBC News'', January 26, 2001.〕〔(Kumbh Mela: the largest pilgrimage - Pictures: Kumbh Mela by Karoki Lewis ) ''The Times'', March 22, 2008.
