What is the Simhastha Kumbh, and why Nashik?

When Jupiter enters Leo (Simha), the Kumbh comes to the Godavari at Nashik and Trimbakeshwar. Here is the story, the meaning and what happens over the 21 months.

The Kumbh Mela is one of the largest religious gatherings on earth. Millions of pilgrims, saints and families come together to bathe in a sacred river at an auspicious time, believing the dip washes away sins and brings spiritual merit.
