Night procession at a Kumbh Mela-style gathering with a hazy orange sky and street lamps. A long line of devotees walks along a riverside road carrying tall poles topped with ornate triangular yellow and orange banners and many saffron flags. In front, a man in white kurta and dark waistcoat with a white turban raises a hand, while a woman in white robes with a long white shawl holds a banner pole. Others wear saffron, orange and white garments and shawls, some barefoot. Overpass pillars and lights are visible behind the crowd.
