A photograph of saffron-robed sadhus seated together at an outdoor gathering in front of a pale gold draped cloth backdrop. The central figure wears a rust-red turban, a red tilak on his forehead, a red-brown robe and layered rudraksha malas with large wooden beads, and smiles broadly. Beside him on the left, a bearded elder with glasses wears orange robes and a white bead mala. On the right, a bald priest with a red tilak wears orange robes and a mala. Appearance cues for the central figure are not strong enough to name anyone, so he is described by role as a sadhu.

An elderly bearded sadhu in orange robes sits to the left, and a bald sadhu in orange robes with a red forehead mark and rudraksha mala sits to the right.

On the right, a smiling person wears a rust-orange turban with a tilak on the forehead, a rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklaces, and a long dark hair falling behind. A bald man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits to the left, and a woman in orange with a yellow tilak and orange shawl sits in the middle. Yellow marigold garlands lie in the foreground, along with a small orange-wrapped object. Their appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) presentation cues of a turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha with gold ornaments, so the central figure is a candidate.2016-04-23April 22 20162016-04-22April 23 20162016-04-23A smiling man in a rust-red turban and a dark red and gold sash sits on a stage at a Kumbh event, wearing long multi-strand gold beaded necklaces and gold armlets, with a small red bindi on his forehead and a small clip microphone at his ear.
