We were planning our trip to India during the winter vacation. Just as we were about to book the tickets, a friend reminded us of the Mahakumbh Mela starting around our planned return, and he emphasized the rare, once-in-144-year planetary configuration that would happen this time. We thought for a moment and realized this is not even a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many, and we are going to be so close to it, both in time and space, so it makes perfect sense for us to be there.
So, we modified our plan. Despite several warnings from protective family members and ever-sceptical social media handles, we stood firm on experiencing this opportunity. This would be the first Kumbh experience for both of us.
