Crowds mill around the Kumbh Mela site: Allahabad on Maha Shivratri day!

See the crowds trying to access the waters of the Ganga on Maha Shivratri day, for the shahi snan at Allahabad: 10th March 2013.

See the masts set up for supply of electricity to the mass pop-up township on the river-bank. In India, when we want to, we can truly move mountains, including setting up a township for a few millions of people, in a totally glitch-free fashion!
