The Kumbh Mela, has been the greatest of the Indian fairs, attracting the world’s largest congregation of religious pilgrims. Millions of people are said to attend the Purna Kumbh Mela, making it the largest gathering anywhere in the world.
Here’s a relaxing look at pilgrims, holy men and police at the Purna Kumbh Mela- ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’.

Holiness is still common in India. In most Hindu households, shops and businesses are altars and shrines, and the day is routinely started with the worship of gods and gurus. Many mountains, rivers, stones and trees are sacred. Dozens of Indian cities are holy and, of course, the millions of temples and idols. Quite a few animals are holy — the cow, of course, but also the bull, the monkey, the elephant, the peacock, the snake, the rat…. So it may come as no surprise that people can be holy too, though they have to become holy.
