I was at the Maha Kumbh Mela, in Prayagraj, in Northen India. This Mela.( Religious Festival) happens on the banks of the River Ganges once in 144 years. More than 400,000 people come to this holy place everyday and the festival goes on for more than 40 days. Religious ascetics come here from all over the country and I went around to capture the esscence and the mood of the place.
