The origins of the Kumbh Mela are rooted in the ancient Hindu legend of the Samudra Manthan, or the churning of the ocean of milk. According to this myth, gods (Devas) and demons (Asuras) jointly churned the ocean to obtain Amrit, the nectar of immortality. During the ensuing struggle for possession, drops of Amrit fell at four locations: Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik. These sites became sacred, and the Kumbh Mela is celebrated at each in a rotational cycle.

Samudramanthan was the final nail in the coffin of the hardening if the split between the Yazatas (Ahuras) and the Daevas. Who reneged on the agreement to share the nectar, and usurped it for themselves.

frustrated with the demon, Durga finally morphed into Kali and drank all his blood before it could hit the ground and spawn more bloodseed monsters.. in her rage she goes on to kill her husband, Shiva, too.. once she realizes what she done, she sticks her tongue out in shame.. as kids do when you ask em if they been naughty and ate more cake than they allowed to by mum and pa :P
