Wide outdoor view of a dense crowd of pilgrims walking along a dirt path lined with wooden pole fencing toward the Kumbh Mela camp area. Many women wear saris in bright colours including red, green, purple and yellow, and men wear white kurtas and dhotis or trousers. Several carry large white and striped bundles and sacks on their heads and shoulders. Behind them are tent canopies, a pale orange and red gateway, a concrete bridge and a shallow stream with muddy banks. Parked white cars and buses sit at the right edge.
