| The Maha Kumbha Mela—The Elixir of Life |
The Kumhba Mela is in full swing here in Allahabad. Roads into the city are periodically closed on the busiest bathing days in an effort to reduce traffic of literally millions of visitors expected. Most pilgrims come for just a day or two, take a dip in the Ganga, visit a few specific spots of spiritual importance, and return home. The more serious ones stay for the entire month.
