Not sure if they kept a record of the crowd size then.

I do know that the so called “Million Man March” led by Louis Farrakhan in October 1995 in DC was significantly less than a million.

I was near Graceland back in August 1997 - the 20th anniversary of Elvis’ death.

Of course, that is if you believe he’s really dead. But I digress...

It seemed like there were millions there.

<< Funeral of Ayatollah Khomeini, Iran, 1989 — Approximately, 10 million Iranians visited Tehran to mourn the death of Ayatollah Khomeini in 1989. Several of the attendees were crushed to death as the crowd became uncontrollable.”

And Khomeini himself took a spill: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V8LnSi7U3S0

The Kumbha Mela is held every 12 years - at a given location. It rotates between 4 locations along the Ganges River though, so one is held somewhere every three years.

Here is the 2010, in Haridwar, the furthest North of the four sites, where the River is still fast, clean and cool from the mountains.

Rod Stewart has this talent of reinventing himself. In the early 21st century, he recorded a series of Albums popularizing AMERICAN STANDARDS which were best sellers then.

He still tours as well. IIRC, he plays smaller venues but a lot of those are sell-outs.

He’s coming to the Twin Cities this weekend (Treasure Island Casino) and I’m kinda looking forward to seeing him. The wife is really excited about it.

If we go by PERCENTAGES, the birth of Cain was the largest attend function with a 100% turnout of the ‘entire population’ there.

A bit of a problem with restroom sanitation undoubtedly knocked the glow off the glory on the thirty million gathering in India.

I saws a documentary on one of those pilgrimages in India and it was only a paltry ten or twelve million. Human waste blanketed the area.

I quit listening to Rod Stewart when he went disco.

“If you want my body - and you think I’m sexy....”

Grr. I never forgave him for that.
