Outdoor procession at a Kumbh Mela setting, with saffron-clad sadhus and devotees thronging a street. In the foreground a figure wears an orange turban and a woven orange shawl, seen from behind. A young drummer in orange robes with rudraksha malas and gold armlets plays a drum. Behind him, a decorated palanquin carries a seated figure in orange robes with a tall crown-like headdress beneath an ornate canopy, surrounded by marigold garlands, while attendants in white and saffron stand around it. Red flags, a yellow banner reading PRIMA and a white banner with Devanagari script line the route. Crowds fill the background under trees.
