Night photograph, image rotated sideways, of an elderly bearded man in a red turban and a red-and-gold patterned shawl over a cream vest and grey dhoti, standing barefoot on a paved walkway. He holds a small brass or copper vessel with an orange flame at waist level and has red markings on his forehead. Behind him, people in dark clothes stand along a yellow-bordered barrier, with small oil lamps glowing on the ground at the right edge. A purple bird logo appears at the top left.

He wears an orange-yellow turban, an olive-green sweatshirt, grey shorts and grey sandals, with a dark shoulder bag strapped across his body. Behind him, a standing person in orange-yellow robes with red trim holds a stainless steel tiffin or pot by its handle. Scattered litter lies on the sand.2013-02-13A bearded sadhu with ash-smeared face and bare chest stands at a metal railing beside a riverbank, wearing a red-and-white checked turban and a wooden bead mala around his neck. Behind him, a figure in orange robes walks past, and concrete pillars and haze fill the background. No a person candidate is visible; the man is a sadhu, and the page's a person mention does not establish any person in this photo.2013-02-05A bearded sadhu sits in an open tent under blue tarpaulin, leaning on a bundled red and orange floral blanket slung from ropes. He wears a dark rudraksha-bead vest and a white beaded necklace, with an orange marigold garland on his head, and his body is smeared with grey ash. One leg is raised and he holds a cigarette to his lips. Around him lie a brass lota, a plastic water bottle, a jar, a steel plate with money and offerings, and a woven bag hanging nearby. The page's a person flag does not match this figure's appearance, so no a person candidate is claimed.2013-02-22 +2 copiesSeptember 15 20152015-09-15 +1 copiesA bearded sadhu with arms raised stands on a riverside path at the Kumbh Mela, wearing a marigold-covered orange and saffron turban and a beige shawl over a white kurta.
