- Description: Small copper or brass vessels being sold in the street shops. These vessels are used to lift off small quantities of water to pour as a form of prayer. The vessels are taken back as a form of blessed item in Kumbh Mela, the biggest Hindu religious pilgrimage. The number of pilgrims this year is expected to exceed around five million since the first day of January 14 till it ends on April 28, 2010. The auspicious days of the shahi snan or royal baths usually draw hundreds of thousands of devotees to the Har Ki Pauri and other banks of the Ganges river. As pilgrims from around the world gather on the occasion, most of the city remains shut for any vehicles other than security or emergency services, so a sea of humanity walks through the city to the bathing ghats. Uttarakhand, North India. April 13, 2010.
