Abhik Basu, Enroute to Gangasagar (TRAVEL 2020)

Every year, on 14 January, thousands of Hindu pilgrims gather on the island of Gangasagar in West Bengal (India) to take a holy dip at the confluence of river Ganges and Bay of Bengal. Pilgrims travel from all over India and take a rest-stop at Kolkata before traveling the remaining 100 kms. These photos document the activities of one group of pilgrims during their stop.
