Hi, this is Vineet Bhora and I'm in Prayagraj for the largest religious gatherings in the world. This year's celebration is especially auspicious as it marks the Maha Kummila. Maha meaning great. Held once every 144 years, coinciding with the real celestial alignment of the sun, moon and Jupiter.

Want to see some big and small dinosaurs, old dinosaurs, and less old—but still really old—dinosaurs?
