Object description:

Photo (scan from slide). Kumbh mela views. In the foreground you can see scenes with a thousand pilgrims gathered on the banks of the Ganges and Yamuna. From both banks of the river, the pilgrims sail to the center, where the waters of both great rivers touch each other. This is where they perform ritual ablutions. An event from the kumbh mela festival, which takes place in Allahabad every 12 years (after 6 years there is a so-called half-mela). It is the most numerous festival in Northern India, and the uniqueness of Allahabad is that it lies where the Jamuna flows into the Ganges. The place where the waters merge, and this place is precisely visible in the different colors of the two waters - is considered to be particularly suitable for a bath during kumbh mela.
