A dense crowd fills a street during a procession at the Ujjain Kumbh Mela. Many brightly coloured umbrellas in red, pink, blue, green, and yellow with fringed edges rise above the crowd, alongside numerous red and orange flags. Men in white and saffron-toned clothing walk among the throng, and a white-clad figure stands near the front. Behind them are decorated floats or carts draped in white cloth and garlanded with flowers, and a roadside signboard reads Ujjain with a 2 KM distance marker. A thousands-strong mass of pilgrims is visible, with a crowd well above a hundred people.
