A bearded sadhu in orange saffron robes stands outdoors at a crowded Kumbh Mela area, holding a silver trident in one raised hand and a small silver water pot in the other, with a red-tinted palm. He wears a rudraksha mala crown on his matted hair, a long rudraksha and pearl-string necklace, rudraksha bracelets, and a red sash at his waist. His face and forehead are painted with yellow and red markings. Behind him, pilgrims and a red drum are visible on a dusty roadside, with a bicycle handlebar in the foreground.September 15 20152015-09-15 +1 copiesPhoto 11731010 +1 copiesMay 30 20062006-05-30September 15 20152015-09-15September 15 20152015-09-15A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange clothing with a rust-red turban and long dark swept-back hair, wearing a leopard-print garment under an orange shawl, layered gold and rudraksha beaded necklaces, and gold armlets.
