Man on Stripes
The main transit camp for Gangasagar pilgrims in Kolkata is Babughat, which serves as a central hub where pilgrims gather before starting their journey to the Gangasagar Mela. From here, they arrange transport, including government ferries, to cross the Muriganga river and travel to Sagar Island for the holy dip. The man is seated inside a camp.
