Hindu devotees cross the river Ganges during the ongoing "Kumbh Mela" in Allahabad
Hindu devotees cross the river Ganges on pontoon bridges after bathing in the waters at Sangam - the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati rivers - after the second "Shahi Snan" (grand bath), during the ongoing "Kumbh Mela" or Pitcher Festival in the northern Indian city of Allahabad February 10, 2013. Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims take a bracing plunge in India's sacred Ganges river to wash away lifetimes of sins, in an ever-growing religious gathering that is already the world's largest.
