Kumbh Mela 2019 - The Largest Gathering of Humans

Kumbh Mela 2019 - Allahabad, India

A festival with millions of Hindus, the biggest gathering of humans on the planet. On the main bathing day it is estimated 30 million people gather - 6 million more than the population of Australia. I have never felt more welcomed by the people that make this so special. Incredible India.

“The lesson is happiness”

- a respected holy man said to us at the Kumbh Mela as my friend and I ate with him.

A tear rolled from his eye.

Thank you to my dear friend Burkhard for encouraging so strongly, almost with force, that I attend this festival.
