A photo inside a red-draped ceremonial tent at a Kumbh Mela camp. A seated figure on a red throne with a gold-carved back faces right, with long dark hair swept back, a white and pink-yellow flower garland, and an orange-saffron wrap; he holds a red fruit in one hand. A man in a dark striped shirt kneels and bows his head toward him, holding up a white phone. Behind them, a young boy in a white tank top smiles, and several men stand in saffron and orange robes, one with gold necklaces and a shaved head, another in white with gold chains. A tripod-mounted camera and people filming with phones are visible. Appearance-based candidate, unconfirmed by face: a person seated on the throne in the orange wrap and garland.
