Description:
This is not a scene out of train travel in the days before Independence. In this day and time, hundreds travel on train tops, sit on the train engine, literally hanging onto their lives. This video shows hundreds of pilgrims travelling to attend the Govardhan mela at Mathura, on the occasion of Guru Purnima. Watch this video, it is a telling commentary on the inadequacy of public transport and of train services, and how Indians play with their lives in their effort to travel on a pilgrimage.
