Would You Take A Dip?
//Millions of people have taken a holy bath at the Hindu festival of Kumbh Mela (also known as Mahakumbh) - described as humanity's biggest gathering - in northern India's Prayagraj city on Monday....About 400 million pilgrims are expected to attend the 45-day spectacle, which is so large it can be seen from space.
To accommodate the pilgrims and tourists, a vast tent city, sread over 4,000 hectares, has been set up on the banks of the river.
But on Sunday, just hours before proceedings were due to begin, many parts of the sprawling grounds in Prayagraj still appeared to be a work in progress. Some of the camps set up by saints and other worshippers had no water and intermittent power supplies....Thousands of toilet cubicles were still yet to be set up and many already installed were unusable because of missing water connections.
Hindus believe that taking a dip in the sacred river will cleanse them of sins, purify their soul and liberate them from the cycle of birth and death//

Cleanse them of their sins and purify their souls perhaps - but it can't be doing much for their bodies.
