The Holy Bath Of Faith

During the rare celestial time of the Simhastha, millions of pilgrims arrive at the banks of Kshipra to take the holy dip, uni ed by the traditions and beliefs of the Indian culture. These ghats of Kshipra are the constant centres of bathing, giving alms and libations. The many ghats of Kshipra attract pilgrims, photographers, poets and uncountable locals.
