A photograph inside an orange and yellow canopied tent at an outdoor pilgrim camp, with a green mat floor. Many people stand in two lines facing each other, mostly in white and cream clothing with red or orange shawls and sashes. A bald man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl walks barefoot in the center, with a black-clad figure and cameras nearby. Several men wear rudraksha beads, and a uniformed security officer in camouflage stands at right. Sunlight and a golden parasol show beyond the tent opening.
