Kumbha Mela Project 2001 is an expedition of film makers, photographers, writers, researchers, sound designers and composers who traveled to Allahabad, India in January 2001 to experience and document the Kumbha Mela.
Although often considered primarily a Hindu pilgrimage, the Kumbha Mela is a celebration of spiritual and planetary consequence that potentially effects all Humankind. Celebrated every 12 years in Allahabad, this Maha Kumbha Mela drew an estimated 70 million people over 44 days, making this the largest single gathering of humanity in recorded history. This KMP2001.com Web site has become one of the definitive sources of information and multimedia representations documenting this pivotal event.
