Description:A religious gathering unlike any other, the Kumbh Mela, which took place at the start of 2013, attracted an estimated 100 million pilgrims, from all over the Indian Subcontinent, and all over the world. Travelling by bus, train, horse and cart, and by foot, they arrived at the Sangam, the confluence point of the sacred Ganges and the Yamuna Rivers, to bathe a ritual that stretches back to antiquity. Held once every 144 years, the ‘Maha’ Kumbh Mela was last held when Queen Victoria was on the British throne.During a 55-day festival, millions upon millions of Hindu pilgrims disengaged themselves from their ordinary lives, and united in a ritual dedicated to the deity that is the sacred waterway of the Ganges. Tahir Shah’s captivating essay considers why so many people would stake so much to get to the Kumbh Mela, and pledge devotion. He considers the logistical triumph of the vast makeshift tent city, speaks to sadhus, gurus, and to plenty of ordinary folk, and reflects on the role of the Kumbh Mela in the modern world.This essay is just over 6,000 words in length.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
