Hindu devotees at Sagar Island during Gangasagar Mela

The latter is observed once in four years at alternate locations in north, central and central-west parts of the country, Gangasagar fair and pilgrimage is held annually on the Sagar Island's southern tip in the Ganges delta atop the Bay of Bengal. That makes Gangasagar all the more distinctive.
Gangasagar is a charming tourist destination, which attracts both pilgrims and adventure lovers. Located on an island in the Sunderbans, Gangasagar offers the charms of an un-spoilt beach on the estuary of the river Ganges. Gangasagar offers acres of silver sand and clear blue sky, and the calm sea for visitors who would like to spend their weekend in tranquillity.
Also known as Sagardwip, Gangasagar is still unexplored and therefore unexploited. The island of Gangasagar is one of the most famous Hindu pilgrimage centres in India. Every year on Makar Sankranti (mid-January), pilgrims from all over India, gather at Gangasagar for a holy dip at the confluence of the river Ganga and the Bay of Bengal. After the holy dip, the pilgrims offer 'Puja' at the Kapil Muni Temple or Ashram. On the occasion of Makar Sankranti, Gangasagar Mela is organized in this island, which is one of the biggest fairs in West Bengal. Gangasagar finds mention in many tales of Hindu mythology and in ancient Indian literature like the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, a novel of Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay and a poem of Rabindranath Tagore.
The lighthouse at Gangasagar offers a panoramic view of this spectacular beach, from where you can enjoy sunrise and sunset. During sunset, the sky turns golden with a patch of red on the horizon and the silver sand reflects the last rays of the sun.

INDIA: GANGASAGAR MELA FESTIVAL
Hindi/Nat
In India this week hundreds of thousands of pilgrims been thronging to the mouth of the holy Ganges river to wash away their sins.
The Gangasagar Mela, or festival, is the largest such event planned for this year.
In a tradition stretching back at least a millennium-and-a-half more than 300,000 pilgrims have come to the mouth of the sacred Ganges river to cleanse themselves of sin.
At the first light of day the pilgrims brave the chill, elbowing their way through the swelling crowds to take a holy dip in the waters.
When the sun rises the pilgrims continue their rituals.
The Hindu faith teaches that sins or good deeds committed in one life carry over into the next after reincarnation -- but these pilgrims believe the holy waters can wash off the sins of many lifetimes.
The Gangasagar Mela celebrates the story of Kapil Muni, a holy man who Hindus believe made the Ganges reach the Bay of Bengal at this spot, giving the place great sacred meaning.
It's celebrated every January.
Sadhus, or Hindu priests, gather on the beach to lead prayers.
SOUNDBITE: (Hindi)
The day is called 'Makar Sankranti' and it's a very sacred occasion for us. On this day all these great holy men get together to purify themselves in the holy water of the Ganges.
SUPER CAPTION: Sadhu man
Seemingly untouched by the din and bustle are the Naga, or naked Sadhus.
Sitting in their alcoves, they puff away on marijuana, occasionally raising their hands to bless pilgrims who usually donate some money.
India may be changing in many ways -- but not at festivals like this.
SOUNDBITE: (Hindi)
Our ancestors have been coming here in search of peace. We can all get together here and feel at peace.
SUPER CAPTION: Naga man (Naked Sadhu)
At the centre of the two-day festival is the brightly-lit temple of Kapil Muni, dedicated to the man Hindus believe responsible for making this holy place.
Pilgrims deposit money, flowers and other offerings.
Life is still hard for the majority of Indians -- for some festivals like this offer a chance to join with others in the hope that maybe their next life will be better.
