Thousands Bathe at a Hindu Festival
Thousands of ascetics and devotees gathered at the banks of the holy Ganges river on Sunday (February 10) to wash away their sins at the Maha Kumbh Mela festival in northern India. Scores descended into the river in the early morning hours braving the cold to take the "Shahi Snan" or royal bath to commemorate the sun and the moon entering the house of Capricorn and the day believed to be the anniversary of the creation of the universe according to the Hindu calendar.
