Description:
Cows are kept ready even in early dawn at the Kumbha fair (Kumbhamela) in India. After taking a holy dip pilgrims touch the cow's tail. This ritual is meant for crossing the river of sorrow guided by the holy cow. Kumbha mela is a Hindu pilgrimage that occurs four times every twelve years and rotates among four locations: Prayag (Allahabad), Haridwar, Ujjain and Nashik. Each twelve-year cycle includes one Maha Kumbha Mela (Great Kumbha fair) at Prayag, which is attended by millions of people, making it the largest gathering anywhere in the world.
