Night-time photo at an outdoor festival camp lit by string lights, with an orange tent and a blue canopy trimmed with mirror-work above. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a white dhoti and a shawl, carries a silver-topped staff and wears layered gold necklaces and a rudraksha-style bead mala; the appearance cues are loose and insufficient for identification, so he is described by role as a sannyasi-style attendant. Beside him a smiling woman in a rust-coloured turban and saffron-brown robes holds up a phone showing a devotional picture, while a man in a blue checked shirt steadies it. Around them devotees in orange and saffron clothing, a police officer in a grey cap, and a woman in a pink-and-green sari look on in a dense crowd.2016-04-21Night photograph of a crowded outdoor procession at an ashram-style venue with orange canopy and string lights.
