Devotees in lakhs from India and abroad descended on the holy city which is all decked up to host the first Kumbh Mela of the century beginning tomorrow.
Over 25 lakh people are expected to take a dip in the river Ganga on Thursday, on the first day of the ‘snan (bathing)’ on the auspicious occasion of ‘Makar Sankranti’, known as Uttarayan in other parts of India - the day when the sun starts to travel northwards marking the decline of winter.
