Maha Kumbh Mela, India
Clipped this out of a Delhi, India newspaper during my visit in 2001. I would really like to go but it’s a very LARGE pilgramige and in 2001 it was the largest recorded religious gathering in history. 70 million!! A little intimidating considering it’s 99% men and how the hell would a blond woman fit in? The next one is 2013 and I would consider going now that I am a bit more….ahem….mature. The whole experience would be amazing! Hindus from all over the world come for this alignment of the planets and to bathe in the sacred Ganges River every 12 years. I love to photograph Sadhus, only with their permission of course. They are some of the most fascinating people in the world to me!
