Kumbh Mela 2013
In 2013, from 27th January to 25th February, the banks of the Sangam will
once again be the temporary homes of Sadhus, the guardians of the faith;
Naga Babas, covering their naked bodies with ash; and Mahants, lured to
come out of their hideouts in forests, mountains, and caves. It’s believed
that bathing here will free one from all the past sins, thereby liberating him
from the cycle of life and death.
Famous for its culture and contemporary heritage, the city of Allahabad will
once again become a major attraction for foreigners willing to witness the
greatest expression of Indian religion, and study and learn Indian culture as
the roots of tradition and customs can be easily traced in this land of Triveni
Sangam. In 2001 in this Mela nearly 60 million took a bath at Sangam. After
