55. 2007 Kumbh Mela at Los Angeles

On Sep 9th 2007, Kumbh Mela was held in Los Angeles, CA. Paramahamsa Nithyananda, a Kumbha Mahamandaleshwar, officiated the event along with Swamis and Monks of other orders. (A Mahamandaleshwar is a spiritual master who has been elevated by his peers to the highest level of traditional, Hindu spiritual guardianship. Today India has 80 Mahamandaleshwars who carry on the work begun by Adi Shankaracharya 1200 years ago.)
