THE KUMBH MELA FESTIVAL IN ALLAHABAD, INDIA
The Kumbh Mela is a festival held in one of four cities every three years, with the largest and holiest gatherings taking place in Allahabad every twelve years. The 2013 expedition will take place in Allahabad, and is sure to be one of the most auspicious melas in recent memory.
The main event of the festival is the bathing days, where millions of pilgrims gather to bathe in the Ganges River. There will also be processions of Sadhus, religious rituals, exotic vendors, and nomadic tribes in attendance.
