The incident took place on the Sangam Nose in the city of Prayagraj, at the point where the three holy streams – the Ganges, the Yamuna and the mythical Sarasvati – come together. According to eyewitnesses, people who slept on the banks of the river were trampled by others who came out of the water.

The Kumbh Mela is organized every twelve years. From January 13 to February 26, 400 million Hindus, or the equivalent of the population of the United States and Canada, go to Prayagraj, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, for six weeks of ritual baths, prayers or all kinds of parades.
