Wide hazy photograph of a crowded dirt track at the Allahabad Kumbh Mela in early morning fog. Hundreds of pilgrims in shawls and wraps, many in brown, maroon and white, walk along and beside a raised pontoon-style walkway. An elephant with a rider stands on the left near saffron-clad sadhus carrying bundles. Tents and temporary structures line the route, and a long road bridge spans the distant river under a pale sky with a blue pennant flying at the upper left.
