A Sri Lankan ethnic Tamil woman offers prayers celebrating Thaipongal, the harvest festival, at a Hindu temple in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Monday, Jan. 15 (AP/GEMUNU AMARASINGHE) 2. A Hindu pilgrim takes a holy dip at the confluence of the Rivers Ganges, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati on the Makar Sankranti festival, an auspicious day during the 45-day long Ardh Kumbh Mela festival in Allahabad, India, Sunday, Jan. 14, 2007. Nearly 70 million Hindus are expected to participate in the weeks-long festival, one of the largest regular gatherings in the world, and wash themselves in the waters of the Ganges believing that it washes away their sins and ends the process of reincarnation.
