Photograph inside an orange-draped tent at a Kumbh Mela setting, with a golden shrine behind holding a deity murti pair adorned with garlands. In the foreground a long-haired figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a yellow shawl stands with hands on chest, flanked by saffron-robed attendants with malas. A frail elderly man in white kurta with a yellow shawl and folded hands is guided by an attendant, while a uniformed security officer in camouflage stands beside him. Several people are visible, including bald attendants and white-turbaned men in the background.

In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears an orange robe with a gold-edged shawl and a rudraksha mala, hands folded at his chest, with a tall ornate gold cushioned throne behind. Beside him, a bald saffron-robed sadhu with a beaded mala walks, and an elderly man in white with a yellow-gold shawl and mala holds his hands together in greeting.

In the foreground, a smiling man in a dark red-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a red turban, and a thick gold-beaded necklace walks forward, a red-and-gold cord visible at his waist. Behind him, several men in saffron-orange robes with gold borders and rudraksha malas follow, along with men in white dhotis and red-orange shawls, and a few women in saffron saris and a child in the background. Tie colours to owners: the lead figure wears the turban and gold necklace; others wear plain white or saffron garments. Strong appearance cues on the lead figure (red turban, gold necklace, saffron-gold attire) are consistent with a person candidate in a ceremonial procession, though the image is not conclusive.2015-07-25February 14 20132013-02-14December 30 20082008-12-30September 15 20152015-09-15 +1 copiesA crowded indoor festival procession in a decorated pavilion with red carpet, red and green pennants, and a chandelier overhead.
