It happened in Allahabad India on 24th January 2001
<\/mark>
I waited for 144 years for this day to fill 28 million people through my eye-piece. The day when such a mass of pilgrims of all ages gather for a common purpose and destiny has intrigued me for as long as I knew. I had to witness this flow this movement of the largest number of human beings in the history of mankind ever to assemble on one spot with the resolution to take a bath in the holy waters of the Ganges River.

Driven by an enormous religious power there was absolutely nothing that could have stopped these pilgrims from fulfilling their vows.
