A barefoot man in an orange t-shirt and orange shorts walks along a muddy riverbank beside a fast-flowing brown river, holding a thin bamboo stick in his right hand. He wears a small black waist pouch, a blue and black beaded necklace with a pendant, a red thread on his wrist and white bangles, and has a tattooed patterned sleeve on his left arm. Red sandstone steps and a retaining wall rise behind him at the top of the frame. Only one person is visible, and no a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance, so the figure is described by role as a devotee walking the riverbank.

He wears a grey shawl draped over his shoulders, hung with white cloth pompoms, and carries a bundle wrapped in orange cloth against his chest. A large cream woven sack hangs from one shoulder, and he wears dark sandals. The scene looks like a pilgrim walking on a roadside path, with blurred vehicles and buildings in the background.2014-07-21July 21 20142014-07-21July 21 20142014-07-21June 04 20062006-06-04Photograph at the Triveni Sangam confluence in Allahabad. A man with long, swept-back hair wears a loose orange-saffron cloth wrapped around his body and stands waist-deep in the brownish river water, one arm extended in a gesture. Behind him on the bank, a group of onlookers stands watching: a woman in a red knit cap and grey jacket, a person in a light hooded jacket, a man in a white shawl, a boy in a teal sweater, and a man in a green sweater and checked lungi, some barefoot. Bright hazy sky above and a low sandy shoreline with a few wooden poles on the left. Rudraksha and ornaments are not clearly visible. Candidate matches the page's appearance-based description of a sannyasi in saffron, with several cues present, so the label is a person.2006-01-08July 21 20142014-07-21July 21 20142014-07-21Outdoor photograph beside a river bank with green trees and a muddy grey-brown river behind. A young man with long dark hair and a trident-like silver staff upright in front of him sits cross-legged on a red-painted concrete ledge, wearing orange saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, looking down. To the left, several men in orange saffron robes stand in a line, one with a white cloth over his shoulder, and a few carry a cloth bag and a yellow-green patterned cloth. A decorated canopy with tassels is visible at top left. The scene suggests a pilgrimage on the riverside.2006-06-04
