Crowded outdoor procession at a Kumbh Mela site in Ujjain, with a dense mass of devotees in saffron and orange robes, white dhotis with golden borders, and red flags raised overhead. Several people lift hands and stretch arms toward a decorated palanquin draped with flower garlands and a golden canopy, carried by devotees on the left. Further back, a raised open platform holds people in white and orange clothing. A saffron-coloured gateway with a red flag stands at right under a clear sky, with police in khaki uniforms among the crowd and a water spray visible in the background.
