Holy Bather, India
To witness tens of millions of people praying in the confluence of the Yamuna and Ganges river, is an impressive and poignant experience. The largest religious gathering on the planet, the Kumbha Mela in 2001 celebrated over 70 million Hindu pilgrims.
Countless devotees imbibed themselves with the river’s holy nectar, said to wash away all of one’s impurities.
