The main Allahabad festival is the Magh Mela in January, which is also an important religious event for Hindus. The Mela is held annually on the banks of Sangam and is also referred to as 'Mini Kumbh Mela'. The bathing dates are spread over 45 days and attract more than a million devotees. The Ardh Kumbha Fair (6 yearly) and the Maha Kumbha that occurs every twelve years are other major festivals here.
