Large crowd of pilgrims at a riverside Kumbh Mela site beneath a long concrete elevated bridge with many pillars. Hundreds of people in saffron, orange, red and white saris and dhotis walk and sit on a sandy embankment, many carrying bundles, bags and white cloth parcels. Behind a low wall on the left, dense rows of white and blue tents and temporary structures fill the camp. People stand on the bridge deck above, and calm river water reflects the pillars. A hazy sky and distant tents complete the scene. No individual can be clearly identified as a person.

A long dirt path runs between rows of white tents and colourful cloth hung on lines, with a railway bridge with pillars across the top. Many small figures walk along the path and cluster on the sand, many in white or light clothing. A thatched roof structure and yellow tent canopies sit on the right, and a footbridge crosses the water at left. Dense crowds fill the far background beyond the tents.2013-02-10February 10 20132013-02-10February 10 20132013-02-10February 10 20132013-02-10February 10 20132013-02-10February 10 20132013-02-10
