A photograph of an outdoor initiation at the Kumbh Mela. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a rust-red shawl, a long ornate gold necklace, and a thick brown rudraksha mala, stands on a raised platform and extends his right hand to rest on the head of a kneeling devotee. The devotee wears a white garment, an orange-and-saffron scarf printed with text, and white ash marks on the forehead, and holds his palms together. A tall silver and gold ceremonial staff stands behind them. Crowds in saffron and white clothing fill the background, and a golden lion-shaped object sits at the lower right. The man is a probable Swamiji by his long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace, rudraksha mala and red-brown clothing, performing a blessing on the kneeling devotee.

A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala with ornate gold bead necklaces places his right hand on the head of a seated man in a white shirt, who has his eyes lowered in devotion. The blessing figure smiles softly and wears a red-brown bead bracelet, gold bangles and a small bindi. Behind them, a shaved-headed priest in white dhoti with white tripundra marks and a gold necklace stands near a white-draped setting with orange and yellow banners. The blessing figure's distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and layered malas make him a probable Swamiji, performing a blessing. Several other people are partially visible at the edges, including a figure in white at left.
