Outdoor photograph in a tented encampment at a Kumbh Mela site. Several saffron-robed sadhus and sannyasis walk along a sandy path between tall poles strung with red and pink canopy cloth and colourful tents. The lead robed figure in the centre raises both hands together in greeting, with a folded orange cloth draped over his shoulder. Other men in orange dhotis and shawls wear rudraksha malas and walk barefoot or in sandals. A man in a red garment and an orange wrap walks at the left edge, and a man in a red vest stands at the right. The overcast scene shows open tent tarps and everyday camp activity.

Behind them, a man in a cream dhoti and a bearded man in a dark mala stand among onlookers, and a thatched bamboo fence lines the right side.2013-02-15February 15 20132013-02-15January 12 20152015-01-12Outdoor photo of a group walking along a narrow dirt lane between bamboo and thatch fences, with a striped cloth canopy visible overhead.
