After every 12 years, Kumbh Meka is organised for the celebrations of Makar Sankranti where devotees gather in huge numbers. It is one of the world’s largest pilgrimage which witnesses approximately 60 to 100 million people. People pray to Sun god and bathe at Prayagraj, the confluence of river and Ganga as a tribute to Adi Shankaracharya.
