Collapsed bamboo structure at the Kumbh Mela 2013 Hindu festival near Allahabad (India)

This bamboo structure was the gate of an Ashram, which got toppled and destroyed by the big storm that caused extensive damage and flooding in the entire Kumbh Mela this year.

Kumbh Mela is the largest festival on Earth, taking place once every 12 years, with more than 50 million Hindu pilgrims gathering to pray and bathe in the holy Ganges river.
