Kumbh Mela is one of the most ancient and glorious tradition of India. The world’s largest congregation of about 150 Million pilgrims (at a single location) is based on the astrological positions of the Sun, the Moon, and the Jupiter. According to various Indian mythologies, it is believed that the sacred bath at the confluence of the rivers - Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati releases one from the sins of their birth and death cycle and brings the person one step closer to Moksha. This gathering brings together the ascetics, saints, sadhus, aspirants-kalpavasis, pilgrims and visitors. The tent city is designed to accommodate all those who wish to stay away from the Kumbh Mela rituals and enjoy the Mela and witness India’s rich culture and heritage. by Famous Places in India via Tumblr http://bit.ly/2Shb9k4
