520 |a This paper will, with reference to fieldwork carried out during the Kumbh Mela 2013, the big pilgrimage among Hindus in India, discuss the impact that the East is having on the West. Cambell has termed this process for: 'The Easternization of the West' (2007) when Eastern notions and world views is becoming a part of the West but in a new and changed form. This process of reinterpretation or translation is also the case, when it comes to the understanding of and participation in the Kumbh Mela; especially in relation to understanding the snaan or holy dip in the water on the most auspicious days at Kumbh Mela. This paper will give examples of how this is interpreted or translated in such a way that it suits the Western oriented spiritual seeker or pilgrim in his or her spiritual auto biographical patchwork, constructed by the Western oriented mind.
