// Definition
The Maha Kumbh Mela, a Hindu pilgrimage in India held every 12 years (and every 144 years as a Maha Maha), at which cannabis and hash smoking is openly practiced and tolerated by authorities, making it arguably the largest cannabis-friendly gathering in the world.
// From the Episode
Bubbleman described attending the Maha Kumbh Mela at Haridwar in northern India: 'The only place I ever saw really more smoking than any cannabis event I've ever been to or just more hash in general.' He noted it is one of four holy towns where the festival rotates every three years, with even military personnel not bothering hash smokers during the event. While not explicitly a cannabis gathering like the Cannabis Cup, it is 'absolutely a cannabis friendly gathering.'
