My trip to the Mela in 1989

I am a videographer, filming 1989 Maha Kumbh Mela. Today from a boat. Very peaceful out here...
I was filming for most of the month that I stayed. I have a library of over 40 hours of mela footage.
I stayed at the Gita Prachar Camp, in my dome tent.

At the Mela I enjoy sharing a traditional peace pipe with some of the local shiva monks.

I couldn't keep up with the cool swami in white, I tried, and he was over 100 years old.

My trip there this year (Jan / Feb 2000).

My favorite spot was by this tree, near one of the main entry roads.
