Every twelve years, on the occasion of Kumbh Mela, the largest Hindi festival, hundreds of thousands of gurus, sadhus, pilgrims and spectators gather to bathe in the Ganges river. The search for enlightenment and overcoming of corporeality shows in various forms, somewhere between unshakable belief and (self) enactment. But not everyone is convinced of the religious purity of the bright and multi-colored spectacle.
