A seated group of saffron-robed sadhus shares a meal at the Kumbh Mela. On the left, a bald man in orange clothes with rudraksha malas leans toward a man in a red turban, gold chain necklace, and red-maroon dhoti, who is eating from a steel plate. Behind them, an older man in orange with a grey beard and dark rudraksha mala smiles, and at right a bearded sadhu with long grey hair and orange shawl eats from a silver thali. Silver-rimmed steel plates of food, water bottles, and a silver tray with an ornate frame sit on a cloth in front. A carved stone pillar and brass lamps stand at the upper left.
