At the present time there are ten's of millions of Hindus making there way to Allahadad, India. It will be difficult to get a room as there are already eight million people there for the Maha Kumbh Mela. The event is held every twelve years in one of four places in India. They go there to bathe in the Ganges to be purified of sin. They say it is the largest gathering on Earth. In 2001 more than 40 million attended the event in an area of less than eight square miles. They predict that more than 100 million people will attend this year.
