The celebration of Kumbh Mela sees the convergence of millions of devotees, shamans, monks and religious saints across India, making the festival the largest of all Hindu fairs. According to astrologers, Kumbh Mela takes place when the planet Jupiter enters Aquarius and the Sun enters Aries.

However, other tribes too participate in the merriment of the Karma. The festival falls in the month of August.

During the night, people indulge in singing, dancing and merrymaking, around a branch of Karam tree.
