The first written evidence of the Kumbh Melas in India can be found in the accounts of the Chinese traveller Hiuen Tsang (602 – 664 CE), who visited India between 629 – 645 CE, during the reign of King Harshavardhan. However, it is believed that the observance dates back several millennia, to ancient India's Vedic period, when the first river festivals are thought to have been organised.
