Among the Navagrahas, the role of Surya, Chandra, Guru and Shani are considered important in the organization of Kumbh. Therefore, Kumbh is organized in the special position of these planets.

When AmritKalash was received from SagarManthan, then there was a tension drawn between the Gods and Asuras with AmritGhat. In such a situation, Kumbh was organized where the drops of nectar spilled from the nectar urn.

At the time of pulling the nectar, the moon saved the nectar from flowing. The Guru kept the Kalash hidden. Sun God saved Kalash from erupting and Shani protected Indra from wrath.

Therefore, when the combination of these planets is in one zodiac, then Aquarius is organized. The cooperation of these four planets protected Nectar(Amrit) in demons and gods war.
