Dear List Members, Quite a number of years ago I saw on television (if I remember well, the BBC) a documentary made by the anthropology Department of an American University (Berkeley?) about the organisation of the Kumbh Mela. I made DVD of it, but the tape was done away with, with many others, as we had done away with our DVD player. I do not remember the title of the documentary nor the person or institution who made it. I am looking for these details and in particular would like to know if the documentary is available somewhere (Netflix, You Tube).
Ved Mehta wrote an interesting report of a Kimbh Mela he participated in (and that for a man who was practically blind!). If I remember well, it has appeared in Portrait of India. I am unable to check as at the moment my books are in boxes as we are going to move house soon. With kind regards, Herman Herman Tieken Stationsweg 58 2515 BP Den Haag The Netherlands 00 31 (0)70 2208127 website: hermantieken.com<http://hermantieken.com/> The Aśoka Inscriptions: Analysing a corpus, New Delhi: Primus Books, 2023. https://primusbooks.com/ancient/the-asoka-inscriptions-analysing-a-corpus-by-herman-tieken/
