A dense outdoor procession at a Kumbh Mela camp at dusk. A gilded palanquin or chariot with a golden canopy and striped top carries seated figures in orange and red robes, surrounded by a crowd. Many colourful umbrellas in yellow, red, green, pink and orange are raised above the crowd, and red flags are carried. Men in white dhotis and saffron-clad sadhus walk among the throng, one wearing an orange turban. Along the right, a large portrait banner shows a bearded figure with white hair and white garments. Tents, stalls and a blue signboard line the background, and uniformed police stand at the right edge.
