Old image from Kumbh Mela<\/h4>\n

After a reverse image of this picture, we found an article from a Finland-based travel website kerranelamassa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article carries pictures of the Maha Kumbh Mela, including the viral image described as, “Maha Kumbh Mela 2013.” The end of the article gives information about the Maha Kumbh Mela held in Prayagraj in 2013. The image has been credited to Ville Palonen.<\/p>\n

Palonen is a photographer from Finland and kerranelamassa is his website. “Yes, I took this picture during the Maha Kumbh Mela in Allahabad in 2013,” he told Alt News. He added that apart from kerranelamassa, this picture was also published on issuu.com<\/a>. Other similar pictures of Maha Kumbh 2013 can also be found on Getty Images<\/a> and Alamy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
