A dense crowd of women and some men packed closely together in an indoor hall, many wearing colourful saris, salwar kameez and dupattas in red, pink, green, blue and orange. Several people raise their hands, some hold up phones, and a bald man in an orange robe stands near the centre-right. A uniformed officer in khaki and a man in a grey cap are visible in the middle of the crowd. A woman in a blue headscarf and a blonde woman with an orange shawl stand among them. Many faces are visible, with some women wearing red bindis and vibhuti marks. The setting appears to be a large gathering at a Kumbh Mela camp.
