A large crowd of pilgrims crowds a riverbank at the Kumbh Mela, with many people in saffron, red and white clothing standing close together along the shore. Bamboo poles and wooden stakes stand in the shallow water, and several small wooden boats are moored along the edge on the right. Hazy sky, utility poles, and a town of buildings line the far bank, with orange flags visible among them. A few people wade in the river near the poles.
