Close outdoor portrait of a bearded man with very long, matted dreadlocks that he gathers in one hand and lifts over his shoulder. He wears a loose white wrap draped over his body, a rudraksha-style bead necklace with red and green beads at his neck, a thin copper bangle and a red-and-orange thread bracelet on his wrist. A bright orange cloth is visible at the lower left, and the background is a soft green landscape. The page refers to a Kumbh Mela camp, but no event, ritual or throne is visible, and his appearance gives no reliable cue to identify him as a person.

A bearded man with long matted dreadlocks holds a long bundle of his dark brown locks in one hand while looking toward the camera. He wears a loose white cloth wrapped over his shoulders and body, with red and dark beaded necklaces and a red thread bracelet on his wrist, and a thin metal bangle.

He wears a loose white cloth draped over his shoulders and body, with multiple beaded necklaces and a rudraksha-style mala at his neck, and a metal bangle on his wrist. Green foliage blurs the background. A partially visible person in orange clothing appears at the lower left edge of the frame. The appearance-based cues (long matted hair, bead malas, white ascetic dress) are not enough to confirm which individual this is, so the identity is left unsure.2015-09-15A bearded man with very long, matted dreadlocked hair stands on a grassy dirt field with green shrubs and a hillside behind him. He wears a loosely draped white cloth over his shoulders and a white dhoti-style lower garment, with a red-and-black bead necklace visible at his neck. His head is bowed and his right hand rests at his side. At the left edge, a bright orange cloth with printed patterns hangs over a wooden pole. The figure appears to be a sadhu or sannyasi; no identifying cues beyond long locks and white ritual dress are visible, so the identity cannot be established from appearance.2015-09-15September 15 20152015-09-15September 15 20152015-09-15September 15 20152015-09-15September 15 20152015-09-15A photograph of a bearded man in a loose white cotton garment, rotated sideways in the frame.
