Wide photograph of a dusty, open pilgrimage road at a Kumbh Mela area, crowded with many people walking in both directions. Men wear shirts, trousers, white dhotis and shawls; women wear saris in red, green and orange. Some carry bags and bundles. On the right is a row of stalls selling colourful fabrics and cloth hanging in pink, green, yellow and purple. In the background a pedestrian bridge crosses toward a red and white temple gateway with spires, and a distant pale temple tower rises over the crowd. Power poles and flags line the road under hazy sky.
