The film documents one of the largest Indian religious fairs, the [[Prayag Kumbh Mela]], which is held at [[Triveni Sangam|the confluence]] of the rivers Ganges, Yamuna and Saraswati. The action is seen through the eyes of Shubhendu Chatterjee who has come to the Mela not out of any religious sentiment but to see and understand people and seek the reason why ''“….multitudes upon multitudes of the old and weak and the young and frail enter without hesitation or complaint upon such incredible journeys and endure the resultant miseries without repining.”'' ([[Mark Twain]] after visiting the 1895 Mela)<br />
