- Uttar Pradesh is located in the northern part of Indian and also has extremely warm temperatures. It has animals like the Gharial that live there and also is a mostly Hindu population that speaks mainly Hindi. It has a rich history as well.
Next: Allahabad District
- The Allahabad District is the mostly populous district in Uttar Pradesh so I clicked on it to learn more about it. It has a population of 5 million which is close to the population of Denmark or Missouri, but only the area of 5000 square kilometers. The district also has a high literacy rate compared to the national average.
Next: Prayag Kumbh Mela
- This was described as a big Hindu event so I clicked on it to learn more about it. It takes place at the meeting point of the Ganga, Yumana, and mythical Sarasvati rivers in Allahabad. The full festival is held every 12 years and the half ceremony is held every 6. The 2013 celebration was the largest religious gathering ever.
Finish: Magh Mela
- This is an annual festival held in January/February that every 12 years coincides with Prayag Kumbh Mela. It's said to be a pilgrimage for past mistakes religiously. This festival is actually mentioned in the Mahabharata.
