Kumbh Mela印度大壶节

会吃饭的猪

  Kumbh Mela, also called Kumbha Mela, in Hinduism, religious festival that is celebrated four times over the course of 12 years, the site of the observance rotating between four pilgrimage places
  Attendees:Attendees at the Kumbh Mela come from all sections of Hindu religious life, ranging from sadhus (holy men), who remain naked year-round or practice the most severe physical discipline, to hermits, who leave their isolation only for these pilgrimages, and even to silk-clad teachers using the latest technology.

  Origin:Gods reached for an agreement with Demons to churn the milky ocean and it was decided that all perks from the milky ocean would be shared equally.But,during churning,when the pot (Kumbh) of nectar came out, a fight broke out between the Gods and the Demons to get it completely without sharing it with the other.The fight continued for twelve years. During the fight the pot of nectar was shifted from place to place. During this time few drops of nectar were spilled at twelve different places. Out of those twelve locations four were on the Earth.So the four places Allahabad, Nasik, Haridwar and Ujjain became sacrosanct. Hence Kumbh Mela is held only at these four locations.As the Sun, Moon and Brihaspati played a major role in safe-guarding the pot of nectar, the Kumbha Maha Parva is organized only when these three planets form a special Yoga.

  Influence to people:Kumbh Mela has wielded a mesmeric influence over the minds and the imagination of the ordinary Indian. It enables them to take a holy dip in the sacred water and wash away all the sins they have committed in the past.

大壶节(Kumbh Mela)在印度教中也被称为大壶节(Kumbha Mela)，这是一个宗教节日，在12年的过程中庆祝四次，庆祝地点在四个朝圣地之间轮流举行
参会者:大壶节的参会者来自印度教宗教生活的各个方面，从全年不穿衣服或实行最严格的身体训练的苦行僧(圣人)，到只有在这些朝圣时才离开与世隔绝的隐士，甚至还有穿着丝绸、使用最新技术的教师。
起源:众神与恶魔达成协议，搅动乳白色的海洋，并决定从乳白色的海洋中获得的所有津贴将被平等分享。但是，在搅拌过程中，当盛着甘露的壶(昆姆节)出来时，神和恶魔之间爆发了一场战斗，他们想要在不与对方分享的情况下完全得到甘露。这场斗争持续了12年。在战斗中，花蜜罐被从一个地方转移到另一个地方。在这段时间里，有几滴花蜜洒在了12个不同的地方。在这十二个地点中，有四个在地球上。因此，阿拉哈巴德、纳西克、哈里德瓦尔和乌贾因这四个地方变得神圣不可侵犯。因此大壶节只在这四个地方举行。由于太阳、月亮和布里哈斯派提在守护花蜜的过程中扮演着重要的角色，所以只有当这三个行星形成一种特殊的瑜伽时，大壶摩诃帕瓦才会被组织起来。
对人们的影响:大壶节对普通印度人的思想和想象产生了一种催眠的影响。它使他们在圣水中沐浴，洗去他们过去犯下的所有罪。

In my opinion, this post integrates information from different sites and has a wealth of content .During the Kumbh Mela, all Hindu believers, regardless of branch, regardless of caste, regardless of men, women and children, have entered the Ganges to be baptized, naked and clean, just to complete the pilgrimage of the soul.

During the Kumbh Mela,all Indians entere the Ganges to complete the pilgrimage of the soul.The form is similar to Dai's Water festival.

The Indian "Great Jug Festival", also known as Kumbh Mela, is derived from ancient Indian myths and legends, according to which Hindu gods and demons fight over a pot because it contains an elixir of life. As a result, the pot was accidentally knocked over, and four drops of elixir fell to Allahabad, Haridwar, Wujiang and Naxi in India. Today, the four cities celebrate the Big Jug Festival every 3 years on average, and the festival lasts 55 days. Of the 4 cities, Allahabad is recognized as the most blessed by the gods as it is the confluence of 3 holy rivers in India. Since then, devout believers have come to Allahabad every 12 years to bathe in prayer for cleansing their sins.

印度大壶节来源：相传印度教神明和群魔争夺一个壶而大打出手，原因是壶里装有长生不老药。结果不慎把壶打翻，四滴长生不老药于分别落到印度的阿拉哈巴德、哈里瓦、乌疆、和纳锡四地。时至今日，这4座城市平均每3年轮一次来庆祝大壶节，而在这4座城市中，又以阿拉哈巴德公认最蒙神明庇佑，因为当地是印度3条圣河的汇流处。

虔诚的教徒自此每12年会到位居恒河和亚姆纳河汇流点的阿拉哈巴德沐浴，祈求洗清身上的罪恶。因此，大壶节每6年在阿拉哈巴德举行一次。

长路永宁

During the festival, the most revered ascetics were the first to sprinkle the Ganges on their heads and shoulders, which meant that ordinary pilgrims could begin bathing on the holy day. But the rituals of the ascetics are not all the same. Some meditate alone, others reach out to the masses, and some express their devotion through theatrical performances, others maintain a routine for several years to show their concentration. The newly minted monks shave their heads and bury them in a ball-shaped container on the banks of the Ganges river to renounce their past lives. They meditate and pray all night on the banks of the holy river. For 55 days, the ascetics blessed those who came to pray for money, health and freedom from the past

In addition to believers and ascetics, the Indian "Great Jug Festival" also has a large number of saints, including His Holiness, Guru, and Yogis. And those ascetics who come from the mountains to participate in the festival live here in makeshift tents, and in addition to meditating and praying every day, they are blessing the believers who come to worship. Because many believers believe that coming to worship these "living gods" can gain religious power, and even some saints have considerable divine power.
