Pilgrims sleep and rest on the bare ground. The festival is held on sandy banks and dust fills the air. 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. Einungir hluti pílagrímanna átti víst pláss í tjöldum við Allahabad.
