A crowded tented gathering at a Kumbh Mela camp under a striped red, green and yellow canopy with green support poles. Seated in the foreground, an older bearded sadhu in saffron robes sits on a yellow mat beside a low table holding orange cloth and papers. Behind him, many saffron-clad sadhus and monks sit or stand, and a few devotees in colourful saris and salwar kameez, including a woman in teal with a marigold garland and a woman in blue, approach or stand nearby. A man in a blue polo shirt bows with palms joined. Water bottles sit on the tables.
