A dense crowd of men at a riverside bathing ghat during a Kumbh Mela shahi snan procession. Many people hold up cameras and camcorders above the crowd, and others raise phones. Red flags and yellow umbrellas stand out over the water, and several men wear orange and white clothing. Spray rises from fountains along the riverbank, and a bright sun shines over pale stone buildings with saffron-coloured flags.
