Aerial view of a dusty Kumbh Mela camp ground crowded with pilgrims walking between rows of tents, tarpaulins and makeshift stalls in blue, yellow, orange and red. An orange-and-white bus with people sitting on its roof and a red tractor appear among the throng. A large roadside billboard shows a portrait of a saffron-robed figure with long hair beside Hindi text and a figure number. Red banners hang from poles. Many pilgrims wear saris in pink, orange and white, and some wear white robes.
