| The world's largest festival, originating in India, comes to California on Feb. 22, 2014 |
The great Kumbh Mela is the oldest and largest gathering of human
beings on the planet. It takes place every 12 years in India at the confluence of three holy rivers including the Ganges. More than 1,000 Kumbh Mela festivals have taken place over the ages.
It is a massive yogic, ascetic, Vedic, Brahminical, Hindu pilgrimage aimed at keeping the
ultimate spiritual goals of human life in sight for the multitude of seekers who merge into the
ocean of humanity at this event and become one. One hundred of million people participate, making it the largest gathering of people for a single purpose in the world.
