During this festival, which happens every 12 years and lasts for 55 days, people visit the city of Allahabad where two rivers, the Ganges and Yamuna, meet. It's probably the biggest gathering of people in the world. Millions of devout Hindus led by naked ascetics with ash smeared on their bodies plunge into the frigid waters of India's holy Ganges River on Monday in a ritual they believe can wash away their sins.
