Against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the MahaKumbh - a once every 144 year event - that witnessed the largest human congregation on earth at Prayagraj, millions of devotees congregated to pray and plunge into the meeting point of the sacred rivers - Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati. This created a visual canvas that no scenographer could hope to emulate. A powerful and undeniable testament to the power of faith.
Dancers and musicians were part of the daily celebrations. The experience has been described by every artiste as "deeply moving", "extremely humbling", "life altering". Shovana Narayan and Geeta Chandran, whose dance ensemble were invited to perform last month shared their individual perspectives on the impact of being a part of this human tidal wave.
Shovana Narayan says, "The atmosphere was charged with a million hearts drenched in devotion. I felt a powerful current of energy as I dipped into the waters."
Geeta Chandran says, "The Kumbh makes you deeply aware of your own insignificance both on earth and in the cosmos. A moment that shakes one to the deepest core."
