Aerial photograph of a dusty Kumbh Mela campsite in Allahabad with rows of canvas tents and bamboo-fenced compounds spreading across flat ground. A large round tent with a red and yellow striped border and a mud-coloured roof stands at upper centre, beside a smaller temple-like structure with yellow and red spires. Foreground shows a street with a few people sitting on the ground, a man in white, a red and white kiosk, a cart and parked motorbikes. A vertical banner with red and yellow lettering hangs on a fence at right. Haze hangs over the camp.
