• Regarding the organizing of Kumbh Mela, the dates are determined based on the zodiac signs. Jupiter and the Sun planets play an important role in deciding the date and place of Kumbh Mela. The conditions of these two planets determine where the Kumbh Mela is to be held in the country and on which day it will begin. The location and date of the fair are determined only by entering the zodiac signs of Jupiter and the Sun.
• In the year in which Jupiter enters Aquarius and Sun enters Aries, then in that year, Kumbh Mela is held in Dev city Haridwar. It falls in the Magh month of the Hindi calendar.

• According to the Hindu Panchag, in the year when the Sun God enters Capricorn and Jupiter Dev enters Aries or Taurus, the Kumbh Mela is held in Prayagraj that year. The first month of the Sanatan calendar takes place in Chaitra.

• Sun God and Jupiter enter the same Rashi Leo, that year the Kumbh Mela is held in Nashik. Nashik Kumbh is held in Bhadrapada month.
• Talking about the Kumbh Mela to be held in Ujjain, it is held when Jupiter enters Leo and Sun enters Aries. That is why it is also called Simhastha Kumbh because it is related to the Leo sign. Simhastha Kumbh takes place in the month of Vaishakh.

According to mythological beliefs, the Sun, Jupiter, Saturn and the lunar planets played an important role in securing the Amrit Kalash received at the time of ocean churning. Due to this, the position of all these planets is considered important in determining the date of Aquarius.
