A photograph of an open dry field with rows of makeshift tents and lean-tos made from colourful cloth and blue tarpaulins, pitched on bare, scrubby ground under a pale blue sky with scattered clouds. Tents in red, pink, green, yellow, purple and white stand in uneven lines, with laundry-like fabric hung between poles. Litter lies on the dirt paths and a distant line of trees and utility poles is visible on the horizon. No people are visible in the scene.

A wide daytime view of a large tent encampment on dry, straw-strewn open ground, with rows of pale beige conical canvas tents extending into hazy distance under a pale sky. Utility poles and wires run across the site, and a few small tarpaulin and tarp-covered lean-tos in yellow, grey and tan sit in the foreground. Scattered figures appear far off among the tents and near the lower edges, but no one is clearly prominent. Bamboo poles and frames support the shelters, and laundry hangs on a line at left.February 05 20132013-02-05September 2006 - Sindhanur flood reliefA dusty dirt track runs along a row of makeshift shelters at dusk under a pale pink and grey sky. The shelters have striped tarpaulins and cloth in pink, blue, yellow and white, propped on bamboo poles, with woven mats and low thatch. Scattered trees and a few distant figures stand near the edge of the settlement. Dusk light and a few small specks in the sky are visible.2009-10-02Aerial view of a dense tent camp at a Kumbh Mela site, with rows of tents in white, blue, yellow, orange, green and grey canvas packed along sandy ground. Laundry hangs on lines between tents, and small figures move among them in the lanes and between tent clusters. No identifiable a person figure is visible; the scene shows the camp-city layout and everyday pilgrim life rather than a ritual event.2013-02-10A photograph of a dusty open ground at dusk with makeshift tents and shelters made of striped and coloured cloth, blue tarpaulin and wooden poles. Several cattle stand and lie on the bare earth, including a white bull and brown cows. A large heap of rubbish, scraps of cloth and straw lies in the right foreground. A few distant figures are visible near the tents, too small to describe in detail. A faint purple logo appears in the top-left corner.2009-10-022009-Activities-and-Events-at-Kailaasa-SriPuram-Sarvajnapeeta-Hyderabad +1 copies2009-Activities-and-Events-at-Kailaasa-SriPuram-Sarvajnapeeta-Hyderabad +1 copiesFebruary 10 20132013-02-10Aerial view of a dense camp of small makeshift tents at a dusty riverside site, with blue, yellow, grey and green tarpaulins stretched over bamboo poles.

Clothes hang on lines between tents, and red-and-white tractors are parked along the upper left. On the right, many pilgrims walk along a sandy riverbank toward the water, some in light clothing. No individual can be clearly identified as a person, and the camp appears to be a pilgrim settlement rather than a specific ritual event.2013-02-10Wide photograph of a dense riverside tent city at a Kumbh Mela camp, with rows of white and grey canvas tents, many with laundry, coloured cloth and blue tarps hanging on lines.
