A standing sadhu with a bare torso and white ash smeared across his face and body wears an orange dhoti and long marigold garlands over his shoulders, one draped across his chest and one wound around his upper arm, with a marigold head wreath. He stands under a patterned tarpaulin in a camp at a Kumbh Mela site. Behind him, another man in orange robes and a grey vest stands beside marigold strings hung on bamboo poles, and a marigold-garlanded object lies on the sand at right. Carpets and tents fill the background.
