Millions of Hindus transferred the northern Indian city of Molagra for the Mahakumbh Mela Festival, the day after Dozens died at the crowds at the largest religious gathering in the world.
Train and bus stops in the city saw the rise of crowds as people continued to arrive at the festival, although some devastating crushers remained nervous after deadly crushes.
Krishna Soni, a student from the Western State Rajasthan’s Bikaner City, and his eight -year -old family connected with the wire to ensure that they would not be lost in the mass crowd.
Police said 30 people had been killed on Wednesday and 60 were injured.
MahakumbH Mela is expected to be held every 12 years – this year to attract about 400 million devotees, the officials estimate.
The festival is held in a temporary city of 4,000 hectares (9,900 acres) created for purposes on river shores-a large 7,500 football fields.
About 150,000 tents were erected to accommodate a devotee, along with an almost equal number of toilets.
