April 2010. Haridwar, India. The Kumbh Mela draws to a close.
For hundred days, from dawn to dusk, tens of millions of pilgrims arrived to free their sins bathing in the holy waters of river Ganges.
They gathered from all over the country to attend this eternal ritual that cancels time and space, equalizes ethnicity and castes.
A slow, incessant, growing procession of ordinary people has transformed the Kumbh Mela in the largest human gathering the world ever recorded.
Tha aim of this book is to challenge the archetypical depiction of the festival showing the Sadhus, the holy men and point the lenses to the vastness of Kumbh Mela from the perspective of the silent multitude of Indian people with no holy credentials, that make it.
This book is dedicated to the people of India, the silent majority that attends the Kumbh Mela.

A wonderful visual insight into the Kumbh Mela. Berdini achieves something truly special here - capturing a human gathering of epic proportions and making it somehow feel intimate.

The author is in no position to represent the silent majority of India. He should speak for himself, not them.

Perhaps the author should choose a subject he knows something about. This book is an insult to India, and an insult to legitimate intellectual enquiry. This is a misrepresentation of the Kumbh Mela, despite its colourful photos.
