'Wouldn't have missed this no matter what': Unfazed devotees shrug off stampede at MahaKumbh

New Indian Express  

PRAYAGRAJ: Swarming throngs of devotees bathed in rivers at the world's biggest religious gathering in India on Thursday, undeterred by a stampede a day earlier that killed at least 30 people. "We've obviously heard about the stampede," 21-year-old Naveen Pradhan, who arrived at the festival with his family hours after the disaster, told AFP. The six-week Kumbh Mela is the single biggest milestone on the Hindu religious calendar, and Wednesday marked one of the holiest days in the festival, coinciding with an alignment of the Solar System's planets. Despite the early morning disaster, saffron-clad holy men continued with the day's rituals hours later, leading millions into a sin-cleansing bath by the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers.
