Hazy photograph of a crowded riverside scene at the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, with a large crowd of pilgrims walking along a dusty path. A decorated elephant with a rider stands in the middle of the crowd, trunk raised. Above, a concrete bridge carries many people, with red and white banners hanging from its railing. Power lines, tents, and temple spires appear in the smoky background. Many people wear saffron, orange, and white clothing. No individual can be clearly identified as the a person from appearance in this image.
