A large seated congregation fills an open tent at a Kumbh Mela camp. In the foreground, a man in saffron robes sits cross-legged with a hand to his chin, and another man in orange robes sits at the far left. Behind them, many devotees in white kurtas and red-orange shawls sit on colourful mats, several wearing spectacles and tilak marks on their foreheads. A bearded man in white cloth sits centre-foreground, wearing a tilak and a rudraksha-style neck garland. Many more people fill the background, some in orange robes, and a few stand near a banner at the top. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable by appearance, so the central figures are described by role only.
