  • India. The Kumbh Mela, a Hindu festival in Allahabad India, occurs every twelve years. In 2013 about 120 million people attended the festival, with 30 million arriving in one day alone, estimating it to be the largest mass gathering of humanity ever. Religious pilgrims and sadhus (holy men) come from all over India, risking the inevitable stampedes, simply for the auspicious act of taking a bath in the holy waters of the sacred Ganges River. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the river is not as pure as the intent of the religious act itself: the Ganges is the fifth most polluted river in the world. Pilgrims crossing the river by bridge

  • Havana, Cuba<br /> In Cuba, a country devoid of technical distractions, the vibrancy of life spills into the streets. At the end of the day men convene in the streets to play a rowdy game of dominos. Teenagers practice their steps for their upcoming Quinceañera dance, while women gossip and show off their babies. On every street corner children entertain themselves for hours playing baseball with a stick and an old bottle cap. In Havana, much of the local social life is experienced around the Malecon. The main purpose of building this wall in 1901 was to protect the city from rising ocean water, but this esplanade has become a haven for fisherman, a promenade for lovers and a social gathering place for friends.
