A photograph inside a large red tent at a Kumbh Mela feast, with a red carpet running down the centre and a long row of seated sadhus in saffron and orange robes on the right. Nearest the camera, a bearded man in a saffron-orange turban and robe sits at a white-draped table with a silver plate, a small red box and a book, holding a microphone. Beside him an older man in a pink-orange robe sits at the same table. Along the left, rows of seated monks in orange sit behind silver trays set on low tables, and a few people in pink and red robes walk along the carpet. A large carved bronze relief of a deity panel stands on the right wall, and a red canopy hangs above.
