A large seated gathering of men in white dhotis and white shirts, many wearing red-and-orange printed shawls, sits in a hall during a devotional or ritual practice. In the foreground a man in a white shirt and red shawl holds a small clear crystal or glass object to his forehead with his eyes closed, while others around him sit with hands clasped or raised in prayer. A man at the lower right touches his forehead as well. Floor mats are visible beneath the seated crowd. The page notes the event as Kumbh Yatra, but no such banner or name is legible in the image.
