composite image looking towards the confluence. The Sun was up high and
it felt like a summer day. At least twenty million pilgrims had their
dip today, using all of the available ghats around. |

| Click Here to see a ten-photograph composite 360 degree image from the Sangam at exactly 12 noon on Mauni Amavasya. The police were severely restricting pilgrims from heading to this spot. Ghats all over Kumbhnagar were chock-a-block with people. (Be patient. It may take a while for this image to load.) | |
