I liked your blog. I also stared a blog recently on the same topic but i gave it name Maha Kumbh Festival. I gave this name because i got idea while searching on kumbh mela but didn't find any website content on kumbh mela all websites in search results were from travel agents.
I am not a writer as you are, i am computer engineer doing my PG from Nagpur. I was in pune for my BE.
