Night photo of a dense crowd pressing around a dark SUV at a riverside ghat during the Ujjain Kumbh Mela, with many devotees reaching toward the vehicle. Red flags with a printed portrait of a smiling man in a saffron-coloured head covering wave above the crowd, held by devotees and uniformed police officers. Red and pink umbrellas and illuminated ghats with a lit river stretch behind them. Several young children are held up in the crowd. Because the flag portrait is a printed depiction and the person in the vehicle is not clearly visible, the identity of anyone in person is unsure. Crowd size is in the tens to hundreds visible.
