Aerial view of a dense tent city at the Prayagraj Kumbha Mela, with rows of blue, pink, green and grey tarpaulin tents and canopies packed along narrow lanes. Red saffron flags on tall poles rise above the tents, and a riverbank with boats and hazy distant trees lies beyond. A large red-and-gold gateway and a painted signboard stand in the middle distance. Lanterns and street lamps line the grounds in the dusky light. No individual people are clearly visible.
