CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

The Kumbh is held in turn at Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain and Nashik.
Each stands on a river: the Ganga-Yamuna confluence, the Ganga, the Shipra and the Godavari.
The other groups are all sets of pilgrimage towns, but none of them is the Kumbh circuit.

Worth noting

The four Char Dham sites — Puri, Rameswaram, Dwarka and Badrinath — are the set most often confused with this one.
