PRAYAGRAJ, India — Swarming throngs of devotees bathed in rivers at the world's biggest religious gathering in India on Thursday, undeterred by a stampede a day earlier that killed at least 30 people.
The Maha Kumbh festival attracts tens of millions of Hindu faithful from across India every 12 years to the northern city of Prayagraj, but has a woeful record of deadly crowd incidents.
