Hindu Indian pilgrims take a dip at the start of the holy Kumbh Mela in Nashik on July 14, 2015. India's mass Hindu pilgrimage, the Kumbh Mela, officially started on July 14 with a low-key flag-raising ceremony in Nashik in western Maharashtra state. While the hoisting marked the official opening of the 2015 Kumbh Mela, only a few hundred pilgrims attended the ceremony and mass crowds are not expected to gather until the first main bathing day on August 29.
