The Great Pot Festival, also known as the Holy Water Bathing Festival, is the largest Hindu religious gathering in the world and one of the festivals with the largest number of participants in the world. The Great Pot Festival originated from ancient myths and legends in India. It is said that Hindu gods and demons compete for a jar because it contains elixir of life. As a result, the pot was accidentally knocked over, and four drops of elixir fell into Allahabad, Hariwa, Wujiang and Naxi in India. So these four cities celebrate the Big Pot Festival every three years, that is, every place only holds it once every 12 years, so it is a rare religious activity. Starting from 65438+10.9, the period is 42 days. During the festival, Hindus bathe in the Ganges River to cleanse their past sins.
