There are rivers at these four places: Sangam (Sangam) of Ganga, Ganga in Haridwar and legendary Saraswati in Yamuna and Allahabad, Godavari in Nasik, and Shipra in Ujjain.


Aquarius means the meaning of a pitcher and fair is proper in Hindi. Pilgrimage is organized for two and a half months in each of these four places, where in Hinduism it is believed that the drops of nectar fell from the Aquarius made by the gods after the sea.
