Pilgrims just kept on arriving. There was no let up in the flow of arrivals and it only increased as the day wore on. Carrying their possessions on the their heads or bales of hay for bedding they walked their way into the camps. All roads are now closed and the bridges that served us in our cars are pedestrian only. It is for the 10th February, tomorrow, that they have all come. The most auspicious day of the Kumbh Mela and indeed of the last 11 Kumbh melas as this alignment of the stars only occurs every 144 years.
Vijay,
