One month Kalpavas: Bathing 3 times, eating once, sleeping on the ground Thousands of people perform Kalpavas on the banks of Sangam in Magh. Kalpvas- ‘Kalp’ means fixed time and ‘Vas’ means residence. There are 21 rules for this in Padma Purana.
The main ones among these are- speaking the truth, non-violence, restraint, kindness to all living beings, freedom from addiction, bathing three times, eating once and sleeping on the ground. Kalpavas is the path to liberation from the cycle of life and death.
Importance: If you go to Prayagraj, you will get the virtue of seeing all the saints of the world together.

If you go to Prayag, you will get the benefit of seeing all the saints of the world together. Those who know the essence of God will listen to the words of great men.
