Pilgrims flow over one of the pontoon bridges on the Jamuna, for a dip at the Sangam. Kumbh Mela, Allahabad, India. The most aspicious bathing day, January 24, 2001. The holiest day for a dip at the Sangam, the confluence of rivers Ganges, Jamuna and the mysterious Saraswarti for 144 years. Estimated 30 million pilgrims turned up for the day, the biggest gathering of people because of a single event knows in the history of man. All together estimated 70 million turned up for the six week Mela, or festival. Fólkið streymir yfir eina flotbrúna á ánnin Jamuna að morgni baðdagsins mikla og flytir sér í átt til Sangam þar sem það ætlar að baða sig á helgum ármótunum. Í fjarska standa milljónir manna.
