In a battle between the gods and demons to win the nectar of immortality, some of the much sought after liquid fell on the rivers of Allahabad, Haridwar, Nasik and Ujjain.
The story that the drops of nectar of immortality fell near Sangam is believed by the people to have given mystical powers to the place as millions gather at the ghats to purge themselves of all sins by taking a dip in the waters and attain Moksha (Salvation).
