The tens of millions of hindus who came to the Kumbha Mela at Haridwar this year were nearly all of modest means. After days of travel, many spent a mere 24 hours in the holy city at the gateway to the Himalayas. They chanted Jai Ganga MaHail Mother Gangatook their sacred bath in the frigid river, collected a pot of holy Ganga water and then headed home.
