Night view of a lit riverside ghat at the Shipra river in Ujjain during the Kumbh Mela, with a dense crowd of devotees standing along the stone embankment and steps. Fountains spray above the dark water, reflecting green and white lights, and a tall illuminated temple tower stands in the background. Several people in saffron, white, and colourful salwar kameez hold red flags, and some devotees carry umbrellas, one green and one purple. A white boat with a striped canopy floats at the left edge. Orange rope barriers line the water. The crowd is too large and dispersed to count precisely.
