Photograph of a festival procession at a Kumbh Mela-style shahi snan event under a clear blue sky. On the left, a seated figure in orange robes, a gold-and-cream ornate chariot canopy, and a gilded lion figure stand out. Beside him, an orange-robed sadhu in a rudraksha-style necklace sits near the front. Two orange-clad sadhus with long matted hair sit on the procession float, one holding a small object and the other with a red umbrella overhead. A decorated float carries colourful circular ornaments and loudspeakers. Red flags wave among a large crowd of devotees, some in white dhotis and orange shawls, along the roadside.
