A photograph inside a tent at a Kumbh Mela camp, with a white-curtained shrine and silver ornate canopy behind. A seated person in an orange-red turban and saffron robe with a gold necklace and rudraksha bracelets holds a golden object and gestures toward a sadhu in orange and a red-and-orange shawl printed with mantras. Other sadhus stand nearby, one with grey hair and an orange cloth, another in pink with a white beard, and a man in a white kurta with a red shawl. Garlands, brass lamps and a deity murti are visible. The seated figure's appearance is not clearly confirmable as a person.
