I will be looking into the logistics of this event. The water supply, sewage, food distribution, traffic control, medical preparedness etc. However, this being India's Hindu belt, everything is in Hindi and my Hindi is not quite up to scratch. Further, one official tells you one thing and another tells you another. Still it is part of the magic of India.
Nothing is necessarily as it seems.
If you prefer to speculate on the meaning and purpose of the Kumbha Mela, please post your questions, ideas, and views on the Zenzibar site. If you wish to hear more about this from me or people at the mela, I will try to accommodate your wishes.
