A crowded indoor procession inside an orange-draped tent hall at a Kumbha Mela camp, with orange and red flags raised across the floor and green carpet underfoot. In the foreground a figure in an orange robe and a pink knitted turban faces away from the camera, while beside them a woman in white with rudraksha beads and white forehead markings walks among many people in white, saffron and maroon clothes. A cameraperson with a video camera stands at left. Chandeliers hang from the ceiling and framed printed posters line the orange walls. A decorated palanquin or ratha glows at the far end of the hall, and numerous devotees fill the aisle.
