Maha Kumbh Mela Allahabad 2013, a set on Flickr.
In early February 2013 I travelled to India for the Maha Kumbh Mela festival. Wow, what an experience that was! Doubt I'll ever see something like that again! It is probably the only thing I have ever done that I can honestly say is completely impossible for someone who wasn't there to comprehend. I was there to photograph and write about the event for the BBC and Lonely Planet. The following is taken from my first blog post for BBC Travel and gives the general background to this most extraordinary of events.

The following is a link to my Flickr site where the final edit of my favourite images from the festival can be found. http://www.flickr.com/photos/25936994@N00/sets/72157632958837870/
