Aerial view of a hazy riverside landscape at the Kumbh Mela site in Allahabad. A long pontoon bridge of concrete piers crosses a wide, pale river, with a white vehicle on the bridge and several figures walking along it. Sandy banks on the right hold scattered tents, poles, wooden benches and small huts, and a few people are visible on the sand. A moored boat sits on the water near the bank, and distant tents and structures fade into smoky grey sky.

Wide hazy photograph of a broad river, its grey-green water filling the foreground and a long pontoon or pontoon-style bridge running diagonally across it toward the right. Beyond the far bank, a dense, flat encampment of temporary structures, tents and shelters spreads under a pale, smoky sky. A raised concrete embankment with a red railing runs along the left edge. Small figures are too distant to count individually.February 10 20132013-02-10Hazy aerial view of a river at a Kumbh Mela site, with several long pontoon bridges spanning pale brown water.
