A blurred, dimly lit photograph of a crowd seen from close range. Dark silhouettes of heads and shoulders fill the foreground, with a few more figures faintly visible in the warm, low light behind them. One figure at centre has a small orange flower or garland near the hand. The image is out of focus and motion-blurred, and the background is mostly shadow and indistinct shapes.

In the centre, a figure in a saffron-orange garment with long flowing hair and a green garland stands among devotees, with flowers held near them. Red exit or stage lights glow in the blurred background of a multi-storey hall. Some hands are raised toward the figure. The a person cues are the long hair, saffron clothing and garland, though the face is obscured and the figure is distant.2017-05-26April 29 20182018-04-29February 10 20132013-02-10February 10 20132013-02-10April 29 20182018-04-29July 01 20142014-07-01February 10 20132013-02-10Night photograph of a dense crowd of naked, ash-smeared sadhus at the Kumbh Mela, gathered on a paved road under orange sodium street lamps and hazy sky. Many men have grey-white ash covering their bodies and long matted hair or beards; a bearded sadhu in the centre wears orange-red rudraksha beads and a white necklace while raising his hands. A bare-skinned figure with long blonde hair stands at right, and several people in saffron and orange cloth stand further back. A photographer with a large camera lens is visible at the right edge, and a man's raised arm with bangles appears at the upper left. The crowd is far larger than the countable figures, so this is best counted as a large group.2013-02-10
