Pilgrims walk along a dirt path lined with bamboo railings beside a shallow river channel at the Kumbh Mela site. Many people in ordinary street clothes and saris, some carrying bags, move in a line toward the camp. Behind them stands a steel railway bridge on concrete piers, with rows of white tents, blue tarpaulins and small structures across the sandy riverbank under a hazy sky. A tall utility pole and a small colourful banner on a post are visible. No identifiable a person figure is visible.
