A comb and a bowl of vermillion powder lie on a shelf as a Hindu holy man is reflected in a mirror kept for the use of devotees after bathing, near Sangam, confluence of Hindu holy rivers of Ganges, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati, at the Maha Kumbh festival in Allahabad, India, Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013. Millions of Hindu pilgrims are attending the Maha Kumbh festival, which is one of the world’s largest religious gatherings that lasts 55 days and falls every 12 years. During the festival pilgrims bathe in the holy Ganges River in a ritual they believe can wash away their sins. (AP Photo/ Saurabh Das) License this photo
