A young boy says his prayers while helping his mother by holding onto a saree she is drying after the bath. 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. Ungur piltur fer með bænir um leið og hann aðstoðar móður sína með því að halda í annan enda sarís sem hún þerrar eftir baðið í Ganges.
