An Indian man hugs his mother after getting her back at the missing persons information center at Gangasagar, about 150 km south of Calcutta, capital of eastern Indian state West Bengal, Jan. 15, 2015. A large number of pilgrims from far-flung corners of India got separated from their relatives during a fair which draws hundreds of thousands of Hindu pilgrims for a holy dip at the confluence of the River Ganges and the Bay of Bengal on the occasion of Makar Sankranti, a holy day of the Hindu calendar considered to be of great religious significance in Hindu mythology.
