Amol Rajan Goes to the Ganges
Amol Rajan Goes to the Ganges
Amol visits the Maha Kumbh Mela religious festival in northern India, where up to 500 million pilgrims from all over the globe gather in a temporary megacity the size of Manhattan, at the confluence of three sacred rivers. There they wait to purify themselves in the waters and gain salvation for themselves and their families. This is a profoundly personal journey for Amol, who was born in India to a practising Hindu family. Having lost his father three years ago, he hopes to reconnect with his birthplace and come to terms with his grief
Amol Rajan Goes to the Ganges airs on BBC One West HD at 9:00 PM, Wednesday 25 June. (Subtitles, new, audio description.)
