A photograph of a crowd queuing at an open-air food distribution stall at a Kumbh Mela site. A thatched straw-roofed hut with a bamboo frame stands in front of a large printed backdrop showing a temple and a banner reading "अन्न क्षेत्र" with a portrait of a smiling figure with raised hands. Several people in saris, shawls and kurtas, including women in teal, orange and pink, stand waiting beside the stall. Behind them an orange tent holds a decorated stand with garlands and a microphone. A row of small deity prints is displayed on the thatched stall. A photo of a person wearing orange and holding raised hands appears on the backdrop, and the scene is set on sandy ground.
