Starting Tuesday, tens of millions of Hindu devotees in India will gather to wash their sins away on the banks of the Ganges River in a festival known as the Kumbh Mela. The tradition, which dates back over a millennia, is billed as the world's largest gathering of humanity
. Through March 4, an estimated 120 million people will flock to the northern city of Prayagraj to bathe at the Sangam, a confluence of the Ganges, the Yamuna and the Saraswati rivers, BBC reports. By comparison, that’s almost 14 times the population of New York City

Isn't the Ganges the 6th most polluted and hazardous rivers on Earth for humans to exist near?

Bathing is fine, if you live in Devprayag.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I wonder what the carbon footprint of this prodigious and hazardous waste of time might be...

I just hope there won’t be a crush of people in chokepoints, as they seem to happen often with these human migrations.
