The hair of a Sadhu, or Hindu holy man, is decorated with marigold flowers as he sits with others to discuss setting up of tents for the upcoming over-a-month-long Mahakumbh fair in Allahabad, India, Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012. Millions of Hindu pilgrims are expected to take part in the largest religious congregation on the banks of Sangam, the confluence of rivers Ganges, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati, during the festival in January, 2013, which falls every twelfth year.
