I wishes to attempt to find out the goal of such occasions and why such arrangements have been mentioned under the structure of Hindu mythology. Here I targeted to concerned the impact of such events on societal issues like social structure, economical structure, individual i.e spiritual and political structure. Such huge population is gathered here to take simply a dip in the river not only for tourism only, but actually, it is the power and strength of religion over the whole Sanatan community. That has impact over their followers to build up their belief and devotion towards such huge gathering. I tried to point out some facts regarding this belief as well as purpose of such events organized in Sanatan religion.
