A Sadhu rests on the side of a road in the Mela town in the afternoon. 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. Síðdegis baðdaginn mikla hefur fullorðinn pílagrímur lagt sig í vegkanti fyrir utan tjaldborgina. Með drykkjarmál sér við hlið hvílir hann lúin bein eftir ferðalagið.
