A wide photograph of a crowded riverbank at a Kumbh Mela site, with a large crowd of people in mixed clothing, many in red, orange and white, gathered along the shore of a wide, muddy grey river.

Tall lamp posts, a telecom tower, and rows of tents and flags stretch across the hazy background under an overcast sky.
