Hindu pilgrims at the Allahabad Kumbh Mela

Description:

I was surrounded by an endless number of pilgrims at the Kumbh Mela, held in Allahabad. The Kumbh Mela festival is a mass Hindu pilgrimage, gathering millions of believers. It was mesmerising seeing the many different walks of life at this festival. Women in traditional saris, men in bamboo wraps, and holy men of all sorts gathered in this huge, intricate tent city. Makeshift streets, residential tents, food stalls, hospitals, temples, public toilets, and police stations filled the area as far as the eye could see
