Answer

A

Explanation

The Purna Kumbh Mela takes place every 12 years at one of the four places by rotation, Prayag, Haridwar, Ujjain and Nashik. Kumbh Mela or Kumbha Mela is a mass Hindu pilgrimage of faith in which Hindus gather to bathe in a sacred or holy river. The main festival site is located on the banks of a river: the Ganges (Ganga) at Haridwar, the confluence (Sangam) of the Ganges and the Yamuna and the invisible Sarasvati at Allahabad, the Godavari at Nashik, and the Shipra at Ujjain. Bathing in these rivers is thought to cleanse a person of all their sins.
