Nagasadhus @ Mahakumbh 2010 - Haridwar / Rishikesh
All roads led to Haridwar : An ocean of humanity -15 million - descending for a single day dip in the Ganges on the April 14 (New Year day for many). It is considered to be a journey for redemption in life - the Mahakumbh' @ Haridwar. I was told during interactions that just like going to Haj (Mecca), most save everything to make this journey of their lives. I noticed people walking hundreds of miles (mostly elderly) for those 10 minutes of dip with the mother – Holy Ganges - and a few minutes of solitude even in the midst of the human ocean. It was a profound revelation for me. I went through my own internal journey. Certainly a journey of life-time!
