Wide outdoor photograph of a crowded riverbank pilgrimage site during a Kumbh Mela-type gathering. A large crowd of pilgrims in colourful saris, shawls and dhotis moves along a fenced walkway beside a stone embankment. Dense tents with yellow, blue and grey tarpaulins fill the sandy riverside below, and a few people walk among them. A large tree and small whitewashed buildings with a domed shrine stand behind the crowd, and a red banner with Hindi script hangs on the fence.

Elevated photograph of a crowded riverside encampment at a Kumbh Mela site beside a narrow river channel. Dense crowds of pilgrims and visitors line a concrete bridge and walkways, with many people walking along the banks and sandy edges. Rows of white tents, blue and yellow canvas shelters, parked white vehicles and makeshift stalls fill the foreground. Several large colourful hoardings and banners are mounted on the stalls and fences. Modest multi-storey buildings and trees rise on a hill in the background under hazy winter sky.2013-02-10February 10 20132013-02-10Aerial view of the Kumbh Mela camp along a sandy riverbank beside a wide river on the left. A long dirt path runs between rows of white tents and colourful cloth hung on lines, with a railway bridge with pillars across the top. Many small figures walk along the path and cluster on the sand, many in white or light clothing. A thatched roof structure and yellow tent canopies sit on the right, and a footbridge crosses the water at left. Dense crowds fill the far background beyond the tents.2013-02-10February 10 20132013-02-10February 10 20132013-02-10February 10 20132013-02-10February 10 20132013-02-10February 10 20132013-02-10February 10 20132013-02-10Aerial view of a dense crowd of pilgrims walking along a wide dusty road lined with white tents, blue tarpaulins and temporary stalls at the Kumbh Mela camp, with a steel truss bridge spanning the top of the frame. Many people wear saffron, orange, red and pink saris and kurtas, and some carry bags. On the left a large blue banner shows a portrait photo of a man with the printed text in Devanagari. Vehicles are parked among the crowd. Several thousand people are visible, so the crowd is far beyond a small group.2013-02-10Aerial view of a dense crowd at the Kumbh Mela camp grounds in Allahabad, with thousands of pilgrims walking between rows of white, blue and orange tents and temporary stalls.
