A photograph at a Kumbh Mela shahi snan event under a bright orange canopy. In the centre, a bearded elderly sadhu in a peach-orange turban and draped orange robe, with a red tilak on his forehead, holds a small object and looks down. A saffron-robed man stands at left with a white-bearded companion beside him, and a smiling woman in a red turban and red-orange robe with rudraksha beads stands at right. Other saffron-clad figures and onlookers are visible behind, along with an orange pole in the foreground. Several physical people are visible, and the man in the centre has no distinctive a person cues, so the candidate is uncertain.
