India: Kumbh Mela, Allahabad

The Allahabad Kumbh Mela is a mela held every 12 years at Prayag(Allahabad), India. The fair involves ritual bathing at Triveni Sangam, the meeting points of three rivers: the Ganga, the Yamuna and the mythical Sarasvati. The latest Allahabad Kumbh Mela took place in 2013 and became the largest religious gathering in the world with almost 120 million visitors. The next one is scheduled for 2025, with an Ardh Kumbh Mela scheduled for 2019.

Thanks to Mr Abhinav
