In the centre, a deity murti is decorated in red and gold on an ornate altar, lit by oil lamps. Several figures in orange and saffron robes stand and sit near the altar performing puja, with brass vessels and flowers arranged before them. A large seated audience in white clothes fills the foreground, some with their hands raised in worship. A man in white stands at the right edge holding a camera or phone above the crowd, and a foreground figure wears a floral garland. Smoke rises from the proceedings.2013-11-04November 05 20052005-11-05October 14 20052005-10-14August 25 20142014-08-25December 29 20082008-12-29Interior of a red and gold tent at a Kumbh Mela gathering, with a large golden shrine arch framing a deity murti of Shiva with a trident and a seated figure before it.

Hanging ceremonial banners with colourful patterns and gold tassels decorate the poles, and a speaker stands at the left.2013-02-15
