Massive crowd ever seen
Devtas asked the help of satan for this sturdy task to complete with mutual agreement of sharing the elixir of immortality equally. They churned the ocean for 1000 years, where satan were holding Vasuki’s head and Gods were holding its tail. At the end of  this entire churning process, Dhanwantari appeared with Kumbh in his palms. To prevent the amrita (elixir of immortality) from satan, its safety was entrusted to Gods BrahaspatiSuryaShani and Chandra. After learning the conspiracy of the Devtas, satan turned vicious and attacked them. Devtas knew that satan possessed more power and can easily defeat them. The Devtas run away with the Kumbh to hide it away and they were chased by Asuras. For 12 days and 12 nights the Gods were chased by satan for the possession of Amrita. These 12 days of Bhagwan are equivalent to 12 years of Humans. During this chase for the elixir of immortality the drops from Kumbh fell at four places – NasikHaridwarUjjain and Allahabad.
