A seated gathering inside a tent at a Kumbh Mela camp. Two young boys in white dhotis with red and yellow borders sit in the centre; one wears a black blindfold and holds a paper, while the other looks on. A woman in a white sari with gold border and a long gold necklace, red bindi and braided hair sits to the right with a garland. A man in a white kurta and rudraksha-style beads sits nearby. Around them devotees in white, saffron and colourful saris sit on the floor, some shaded by a tent canopy. In the foreground a figure with a white headband and a white vest faces the group, and a man in a dark vest with saffron trim sits at right. No one is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance; the figures are presented as devotees and ritual participants.
