Faith above all: Devotees taking holy dip at Simhasth Kumbh in Ujjain

The second 'Shahi Snan' of month-long Simhastha Kumbh mela began early today. Just a week ago seven people were killed when heavy rains accompanied by lightning and squall flattened and uprooted makeshifts tents of pilgrims in the same Simhatha Kumbh Mela. This shows that faith is above all for devotees as they take a holy dip.
