💨 Abstract

The Maha Kumbh Mela, a Hindu festival held every 12 years, commenced in Prayagraj, India on Monday. Scores of naked ascetics took a 'royal bath' in the holy rivers, believed to confer salvation and absolve sins. Over 15 million people have already taken a ritual dip. The festival, which attracts millions, is considered auspicious every 12 years.
