Aerial dusk view of a Kumbh Mela encampment at night, with rows of white and tented structures along a wide dirt lane. Many small lights and lamps line the riverbank in the far distance, glowing gold against a dark blue sky. Several white SUVs and vans are parked along the lane, and a few dozen small figures walk or stand on the roadway. Blue and orange tarpaulins cover many tents, and strings of coloured lights decorate some stalls at the right edge.
