Men look out from an overcrowded train to travel home for the Chhath Puja festival at a railway station in New Delhi, India, Nov. 16, 2012. Migrant workers from Bihar, one of the country's poorer states, are traveling home in large numbers for Chhath, dedicated to the sun god Surya, one of the most significant Vedic festivals in the region.
