The streets of Haridwar after the First Royal Bath at Kumbh Mela 2010. The festival can get quite chaotic and congested - this day there were over 1 million people in the city. Well worth the all the crowds for such an amazing event - although it's important to keep one's balance when walking since the brute force of the pushing mass of people can get quite intense.
