"Shortcut to Nirvana: Kumbh Mela" is incredibly enlightening and easy to understand for those who would like to learn more of Indian culture and religion. One of the most substantial take aways from this film was the clear consensus that all people, despite race, gender, sexuality, or faith are welcomed into the vast faith of hinduism and bond together in peace at the Kumbh Mela festival, taking place every 12 years in India. Wether the viewer understands what is going on in this film or not, it is very clear that the Kumbh Mela festival is one of the most positive journey's of the human experience. The documentary was directed fantastically to capture every bit of beauty the festival has to offer.
