Millions of Hindus take holy bath
At least 18 million people have bathed so far in the river Ganges in northern India on the main day of the Ardh Kumbh mela, festival organisers say.
Thousands of Hindu holy men began the plunge near the town of Allahabad at dawn. Crowds are still arriving and bathing will continue into the night.
