A seated group meditates on green mats under a tent at a Kumbh Mela setting. In the foreground, an elderly sadhu with a white beard wears an orange robe and orange head wrap, holds a wooden staff, and wears a rudraksha mala with a pendant. Beside him, a man in a blue zip jacket and dark trousers sits cross-legged with hands in mudra, eyes closed. Behind them, devotees in white kurtas, sweaters, jackets and saris sit in rows, many with eyes closed. A red banner hangs at upper right with printed text and a poster behind the crowd. No individual here is identifiable as a person from appearance; the figures are shown as sadhu and devotees.
