Evening photograph of a procession at a Kumbh Mela camp. A bearded man with long dark hair and a white-painted face with orange marks sits bare-chested on a decorated float, wearing an orange-yellow marigold garland and a red-and-gold cloth. He holds one arm outward toward a tall pink and orange banner. Behind him, string lights and tent fabric glow in the hazy dusk, and the float is trimmed with red, green and pink pompoms and a white feathered ornament. Robed onlookers in teal and white stand at the left edge of the frame.
