ANSWER: Only 1, 2, 4 and 5

Explanation:

According to the Samudra manthan, Haridwar, Ujjain, Nashik and Prayag (Allahabad) are four sites where drops of Amrit, the elixir of immortality, accidentally spilled over from the pitcher while being carried by the celestial bird Garuda. This is manifested in the Kumbha Mela being celebrated every 3 years in one of the 4 places. This year it’s in Nashik.
