A dense crowd of many hundreds of people fills a busy city street at night during a Kumbh Mela gathering in Ujjain. Most people wear white or light kurtas and dhotis, with some women in saris and head coverings. Several saffron flags are raised above the crowd, and a yellow bus and parked white cars line the roadside. Blue and yellow barricades run along the right edge, and a red and white sign reads Sadavart Marg beside shop fronts with lit signboards.
