A crowded indoor corridor with pale plaster walls and a doorway at the back. Several sadhus in saffron and orange robes and bright orange or red turbans move through the space. In the foreground, a bearded sadhu with a yellow-and-orange tilak on his forehead and a grey beard holds a tall silver staff. Beside him, a sadhu in a red-and-gold robe with a beaded necklace also carries a silver staff. Behind them, a bare-chested man wears an orange shawl over a bead necklace, and a man in a checked shirt raises a phone to photograph the group. The atmosphere suggests a visit by a Mahanirvani akhada group at the Kumbh camp.
