Reading Time: 2 minutesKumbha mela is believed to be the largest religious gathering on earth. It happened in Nashik this year. Millions of people came attend this fair. Here you can see a very small cross section of those people.

People have come from far to cleanse their sins

People came alone and in groups

They stayed there for days

People organised and arranged everything for the pilgrims

Those people ranged from Commandos to..

..to kids

Flower sellers to..

to food sellers

Young people to..

..to old people

Readers to..

..to smokers

Swimmers to..

..to Devotees

Men in White to..

Women in Red

And there were all kinds of people in that small space.
But the highlight was the Sadhus /hermits/saints/pilgrims.

A very young one

A young one

An old one

A saffron one

A black one

A calm one

A cool one

A smiling one

A singing one

A talking one

a techie one..
And there were a lot of interesting moments to capture.

While drizzling

While walking

while raining

And while walking again

And then Someone caught me red handed when I was taking pictures

While someone was completely unaware

And then there was a sadhu meeting happening somewhere

And followers following Sadhu

While someone was trying to become a pseduo sadhu
But the most interesting part was to capture the Naga sadhus.

While Staring

While talking

While blessing

while clicking

While chilling

while contemplating

While emoting

And while initiating
And they all gave me a wonderful experience to cherish.
[PS : I have deliberately used the term Sadhu which means renunciates who seeks nothing but liberation/Nirvana/Moksha. These pictures represents only a very small part of sadhus to come to any conclusions.]
