The pilgrims worship Vishnu, the Creator, Shiva, the Destroyer and Brahman, the All Pervading. Each uses a different path to reach liberation to be free from the constraints of this world. The Kumbh Mela is a temporary spiritual parliament that creates and destroys the largest city in earth that only lives 40 days.

The dates and places of the Kumbh Mela are determined by alignments of planets according to vedic astrology.
