A large seated crowd of women and children sits on a red carpeted floor inside a big pavilion tent at the Ujjain Kumbh Mela. Many women wear colourful saris and salwar kameez in pink, magenta, orange, yellow, purple and green, with bangles and some with head coverings. A young girl in a red and black outfit sits at the front centre, and a woman in a yellow sari holds a small child. Rows of people extend back toward white screens or panels at the rear. Three of the women in the foreground wear dark-rimmed glasses or red tika marks. No identifiable a person figure is clearly visible in the foreground crowd.
