A photograph inside a large orange-and-white tent at a Kumbh Mela camp, with a green carpet and hanging decorative poles. In the centre, a man in an orange shawl and long rudraksha mala holds a brass bell and a small brass vessel, standing in a row of people in orange and maroon robes. Several people stand with palms pressed together in namaste, and a man in white holds a tray of flower petals. In the lower foreground, a tray of rose petals sits in a shallow brass basin. On the right edge, a large life-sized figure in orange robes with a turban and long dark hair, wearing a garland, is viewed from behind, appearing to be a statue or depiction. Roughly twenty physical people are visible.

Inside an orange-draped tent, a group of devotees in saffron and maroon robes stands with hands folded in prayer around a small raised stone or marble basin filled with flower petals. At centre, a man in an orange robe and a tall gold crown holds a lit oil lamp, flanked by robed sadhus, one holding a brass tray. On the right foreground, the back of a larger figure in orange garments and an orange headwrap, with a beaded necklace, faces the scene. Tall ceremonial banners with colourful patterns and a striped pole stand behind, and a chandelier hangs from the white ceiling. Rudraksha malas and garlands are visible.
