A photograph inside a decorated orange-and-white tent at a Kumbh Mela camp. A seated man on the right wears an orange turban, orange robes, rudraksha-style gold necklaces and long swept-back hair; he smiles broadly beside a microphone stand, with a leopard-print cushioned seat. Beside him, a devotee in orange with folded hands and gold necklaces sits, and several seated followers in orange and one in white sit on a green mat. A standing man in white clothes with an orange shawl moves through the tent. On the left, a shrine holds deity murti decorated with garlands, and a floral-marigold garland hangs along the tent. Brass puja items, a platter of flower petals, a kalasha-like vessel and offerings are arranged on a white cloth in front. Colourful patterned banners hang behind.
