Elevated dusk view over a dense encampment at the Kumbh Mela, with rows of tents in blue, green, red and white tarpaulins spreading across flat ground. Thousands of small lights, many of them oil lamps, glow in long lines across the grounds, while colourful illuminated arches and decorated structures stand among the tents and tall pennant-topped poles rise at intervals. No individual people are distinguishable in the scene. A faint haze and fading sky sit above the encampment.
