This sacred town, 52 Kms. from Dehradun, marks the emergence of the Ganga into the plains piercing through the Shivalik Range. The devout believe that this is the one of the four places in India upon which the nectar of immortality, amrit, fell. It has been churned out of the formless ocean and was being carried in a Kumbha – pot when it spilt. On the zodiacal anniversary of this event, a huge religious fair, the Kumbha Mela is held here every twelve years when hundreds of thousands of devotees bathe in the Ganga. Every six years the Ardh (half) Kumbha is held.
