A dense crowd of pilgrims fills a wide dusty road through the Kumbh Mela camp-city at Prayagraj, with thousands of people walking in both directions past rows of white and blue tarpaulin tents, banners and small stalls. Many are wrapped in shawls and saris against the cold, and a steel railway-style bridge with brick piers spans the road overhead. On the left, a large yellow-and-white banner shows a portrait of a man with dark hair and a beard, and an orange flag hangs from a pole. Hazy sky and parked white vehicles appear among the tents.
