Kumbh Mela 2001

9 October to 16 November 2003

The Kumbh Mela is the biggest festival in the Hindu calendar, held every twelve years in northern India. The 2001 festival, the first of the new millenium, was the largest gathering in human history with millions upon millions of Hindus making the pilgrimage to bathe in the River Ganges.

International award winning photographer Stephen Dupont allowed himself to be caught up in the throng.
