According to Giorgio Bonazzoli, the origin of one festival held at one of these locations may have been the city of Haridwar. During one portion of a festival at one of these locations, pilgrims wait for the 13 sadhu akharas to first enter one of these locations (15[1])before entering (-5[1])themselves. That part of a festival at one of these locations is called shahi snan. Twelve of these locations have their own zodiac sign, and in festivals like Pushkaram, these locations are celebrated when Brihaspati or (*) Jupiter is in their corresponding sign. Makar Sankranti is the first day of a festival at one of these locations. The Triveni Sangam is a sacred place at the meeting of three of these (10[1])locations where participants go to bathe. For 10 (10[1])points, the festival of Kumbh Mela involves a pilgrimage to what kind of location, examples of which include the Yamuna and the Ganges. ■END■
