A hazy wide view over a broad, grey river at the Kumbh Mela site on a misty day. A long pontoon bridge of floats with a railing stretches across the water toward the far bank. Along the right, tent camps and a tall red-and-white tower are visible through the fog. A few people sit on the sandy bank at lower left, and a small boat lies near the shore. Banners hang from the steel truss bridge in the background.
