In this Tuesday, January 15, 2019, file photo, a Hindu holy man dances holding a mace as he arrives for a ritualistic dip on auspicious Makar Sankranti day during the Kumbh Mela, or pitcher festival in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh state, India. The Kumbh Mela is a series of ritual baths by Hindu holy men, and other pilgrims at the confluence of three sacred rivers – the Yamuna, the Ganges and the mythical Saraswati – that dates back to at least medieval times. The city’s Mughal-era name Allahabad was recently changed to Prayagraj. (Photo by Rajesh Kumar Singh/AP Photo)
