A large crowd of devotees walks in a procession at the Kumbh Mela camp grounds under a pale sky. Many carry saffron and orange flags, some bearing a circular emblem. A man in the centre wears a red shawl and a shaved head and walks near a white banner held aloft. Men in white and orange dhotis, women in saris and head coverings, and a bare-chested man with a sacred thread and orange cloth around his waist surround them. Scaffolding towers on the left with banners and posters hung on it, one showing a portrait. Many onlookers stand on both sides of the path.
