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.

All together estimated 70 million turned up for the six week Mela, or festival. Fyrir birtingu á baðdaginn mikla var nístandi kuldi í Allahabad.
