A photograph of a naked sadhu seated on a striped rug inside a corrugated metal tent at a Kumbh camp. He has ash-white body paint, long matted dreadlocks, a grey beard, and a garland of orange marigolds around his head and neck. He raises one palm toward the camera and holds a lit cigarette in the other hand. Around him lie a red plastic bag, a whisk-like fly brush, an orange-marigold garland on a stand, a folded blanket, and a shoulder bag.
