Last in the series.
Dust and Ashes. The pilgrimage to Kumbh Mela every 12 years is the largest gathering of people in the world. In February 1989, 15 million people came to the holiest place in India where two great rivers meet. By the end, 38,000 people were reported missing and 252 never found their way home. A Hindu pontiff, a rupee billionaire pilgrim and a man who organised the great event talk about the experience of the decade when holy men, mystics and living saints gather to take a holy bath.
