Photograph of a stage event at the Kumbh Mela camp with ornate gilded thrones and a red-and-gold canopy. A woman in white with a white shawl and a red mala stands at a microphone beside a blindfolded young woman in white holding a printed sheet, as a demonstration takes place. Seated in front are three saffron-robed sadhus: one with a white beard and tilak, one with a white beard and glasses, and a woman in orange with rudraksha beads. A standing man wears a white dhoti with gold trim, red mala and gold armband. Behind them, a deity murti sits on a throne with a crown and oil lamps are placed on the floor, with marigold garlands on brass plates in front.
