Night procession along a riverbank ghat at Ujjain during the Kumbh Mela, with a large crowd of devotees walking in a dense line. Many carry colourful umbrellas in green, blue, purple and pink, and some wave red and white flags on poles. Strings of lights and lamps line the buildings on the left, and a lit river with fountains stretches on the right. A tall pole with a red flag stands near the front. Several people wear white and red traditional clothes, and a few wear orange turbans. A blue and white banner with Hindi text hangs on the left. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in this crowd, so the a person field is left as unsure.
