faces of rural india
at the gangasagar mela transit camp, kolkata
all decked up for the big religious fest
The Gangasagar pilgrimage and fair is the second largest congregation of mankind after the triennial ritual bathing of Kumbha Mela, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagar_Island#Pilgrimage
pilgrims gather here from all parts of india, to proceed to the gangasagar mela which is another 110 kms - the final stretch
the big day is makar sankranti, which was on the 15th of jan this year
this was my second visit to the camp, which was almost deserted
my earlier visit was on the 13th & the camp was teeming with activity
