Summary
[edit]Description1674 CE Prayag Snana Vidhi, Puranas manuscript, Sanskrit, Devanagari sample pages, not highlighted.jpg |
English: Prayag snana vidhi (lit. "guide to bathe at Prayag") and Prayag mahatmya (lit. "glory of Prayag") are chapters found in the Puranas-genre of Sanskrit texts. These describe the legend of sangam (confluence) of three rivers: Ganga, Yamuna and the underground hidden Sarasvati at a place they call Prayag. It has been an ancient site of Magha mela, that grew to be a center of the world's largest Hindu pilgrimage and gathering in January every 12 years in the 19th-century. By early 21st-century, with the convenience of modern transport, an estimated 100 million pilgrims reportedly gathered over 55 days around January for the Kumbh mela.
The above is a photo, or illustration purposes, of a few random manuscript pages of a 17th-century manuscript that is archived and preserved at the University of Pennsylvania (Mss Poleman 3324 / UP 140).
