Maha Kumbh Mela - ketchim - 02-19-2013
The 2013 event is a Maha Kumbh Mela - and that takes place only every 144 years.
Re: Maha Kumbh Mela - ketchim - 02-19-2013
What do you make of householders turned austere pilgrims who live in tatty canvas tents
on a flood plain of a river braving regular baths in freezing water, biting cold, smoky skies
and ear-splitting din for more than a month ?

Tens of millions of people - 30 million on the main bathing day on Sunday -
bound by faith that a dip at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna river
will get rid of their sins - throng the event.
