- Description: Two devotees bathing at the holy waters of Prayag Raj during Ardha Kumbha. This ritual has something to do with providing water to the ancestors long departed. The Ardha Kumbha (Half Kumbha) is a very sacred and auspicious time cycle. During this time Hindu pilgrims from all over India and the world gather to have a bath in the holy waters at Prayag Raj (Allahabad) as two of Hinduism's most important rivers, the Ganges and the Yamuna converge here.Hindus consider that the confluence, known as the sangam, has great soul-cleansing properties. The Allahabad Kumbha Mela is the largest and holiest of all fairs (melas). India.
