Photograph of a bearded sadhu standing outdoors at a crowded fair, wearing a bright orange turban wrapped with strands of brown rudraksha beads. Dense rudraksha mala layers drape across his shoulders and chest over a rust-brown robe, with a long silver-and-bead necklace hanging to his waist. He smiles sideways toward someone out of frame. Two people stand partly visible at the edges: a figure in a black vest with a red bag on the left, and a man in a cream kurta on the right. Background shows blurred tent structures and bamboo poles. No one here is identified as a person by visible cues, so this is a devotee-style sadhu with rudraksha adornment. +1 copiesClose photo of a bearded sadhu at a crowded outdoor Kumbh Mela setting.
