Aerial view of a dense crowd at the Kumbh Mela camp grounds in Allahabad, with thousands of pilgrims walking between rows of white, blue and orange tents and temporary stalls. A steel truss bridge spans the background over the river area, supported by brick piers, and hazy grey sky sits above. Orange and red striped pavilions, parked vehicles and roadside shops with colourful signboards line the lanes. Individual figures cannot be distinguished at this distance, and no a person candidate is visible.
