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.2015-09-15A 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. Behind him is a blurred green hillside, and an orange cloth edge is visible at the lower left. Appearance-based candidate evidence is insufficient here, so no identification is made.2015-09-15Close-up outdoor photo of a bearded man with long matted dreadlock-style hair hanging forward over his left shoulder, which he grips with one hand. He wears a loose white cotton wrap over his shoulders and body, a red thread bracelet and metal bangle on his wrist, and strings of beads with rudraksha-like seeds around his neck. Blurred green vegetation and dry earth form the background, with a sliver of orange cloth at the lower left.2015-09-15A bearded man with long, matted dreadlock-style hair leans forward on a grassy outdoor ground, holding a long section of his hair in one hand. 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. He lifts a very long mass of dark brown matted locks with one hand, displaying the length of his hair. He wears a red and orange beaded necklace and a thin metal bangle and a red thread bracelet on his wrist. Behind him is a blurred green background with an orange cloth at the upper left. Appearance-based identity is uncertain, so he is described only by role as a sadhu with long locks; no name is attributed to him.2015-09-15September 15 20152015-09-15February 15 20132013-02-15 +1 copies
