Mahamaham is one of the festivals celebrated in South India every 12 years in the Mahamaham Tank that’s located in Kumbakonam. This 20 acre tank surrounded by Lord Shiva’s mandapams is believed to be sacred. It is considered that on the day of the festival, the river goddess and Lord Shiva rejuvenate its waters. Thus the Hindus consider taking a dip in the tank as very auspicious. It is often said to be equivalent to attending the Kumba Mela. This festival is held over a 10 day period. Legend tells us that Lord Shiva came in the form of a hunter and broke the pot that contained the nectar of immortality when it came to rest here after the great flood ended the world. The water inside the pot is said to have created the Mahamaham tank.
