Night photograph of a procession at the Kumbh Mela with many devotees carrying tall bamboo poles topped with saffron-orange flags. Several men in plain white dhotis and white shawls walk with faces smeared with white ash, and some wear white headcloths. A woman in a red blouse and white sari walks in the centre holding hands with another devotee, surrounded by orange flags bearing a red emblem and Devanagari lettering. Blurred lamps and dark sky form the background. The people count is more than twenty but this is an estimate from the visible crowd.
