Kumbh Mela 2010 - Haridwar

Kumbh Mela

Its great that the most awaited KUMBH MELA festival is going to be held in Haridwar from January 2010. I hope this is only such kind of religious events where one can see Naga Sadhus in fierce ways, Baba's from different Ashrams as well as all these Rishis and Munis which we Indian are proud of.

Kumbh Mela is one of the largest human gathering in world and this time also we expect such an flow of people from different parts of world to attain this festival. from my past experience of organizing camps for Kumbh Mela, it seemed to me that not only we indian are very keen about this festival but also all those NRI's and Foreigners who are into photography as well as religious and spiritual events drop in to be the part of this huge festival.

Just couple of weeks ago, i got chance to travel to Rishikesh and Haridwar with those elderly uncle and aunt along with their family member for their religious and spiritual tour at the ago of 60 + years (Many Thanks to Ulltimate Travels and rupali Issar to make me their guide and help me to serve those elderly peoples.)

In that virtue, i got a chance to have glance at the pre preparation done by Uttranchal Goverment to promote this mega event. Seems like that Haridwar is being blowned up in colors and flowers as well as the bank of Holy Ganges being clean up. Its nice to see such efforts of Goverment to promote Kumbh Mela.

i hope to write further more details on Kumbh Mela and its rituals as well as try to provide further details on Bathing dates of Kumbh Mela, Akharas during Kumbh Mela and Camp Om (Accommodation in Haridwar).

May Peace always be Maintained !!
