A night procession at the Kumbh Mela on a paved riverside road beneath a sodium street lamp. Many devotees carry long poles with orange and saffron flags, some reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham. Men wear white dhotis and white shawls, some bare-chested, with red sashes at the waist. A woman in a purple top and white dhoti walks on the left, and an uniformed police officer stands at the right edge in a khaki jacket and cap. The ground is bare, and several people have their feet bare as they walk in procession.
