A photograph of a tall camel with a red fringed canopy on its head, its neck raised toward a blue sky, carrying a rider in white clothes and a patterned cloth saddle who raises one arm. Beside it a second camel, with a decorated headstall and dark beaded ornament, is led by a man in a cream shirt and dhoti who points forward. Crowds of people in white and colourful clothing walk along a dusty road lined with tents, with a distant gateway visible on the right.

A photograph of a procession at the Kumbh Mela. A man in white kurta and trousers sits on a camel draped with a patterned cloth, holding a red umbrella with fringe aloft. A red flag with a dark circular emblem flies behind him. A handler in white holds the camel's rope at its head, and a crowd of onlookers, including a man in a red turban and a boy in a dark jacket, stands around in bright daylight. The man on the camel wears a white outfit and a beaded necklace, but his appearance does not clearly match the a person candidate cues, so he is described only by role.February 12 20132013-02-12February 12 20132013-02-12February 12 20132013-02-12April 18 20162016-04-18February 12 20132013-02-12February 12 20132013-02-12A festival procession at a crowded roadside in a dusty outdoor camp.

A third camel and a white-clad attendant with another parasol follow.
