Topic Reading-Vol.281-1/17/2013

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
India's Hindu Kumbh Mela festival begins in Allahabad.
What do you think is the biggest gathering of humanity on Earth nowadays?
For this once-every-12-year Hindu festival, as many as 100 million people are expected to gather to wash their sins. To accommodate this many pilgrims in a 55-day period, fourteen temporary hospitals have been set up with 243 doctors deployed round-the-clock, and more than 40,000 toilets have been built.
But what if such many sins are washed in the river as it’s believed, what happened to the water down the river?
Enjoy reading and learning about this historical Hindu event.
