Outdoor photo of a camp at a riverside gathering, with bamboo lattice walls and a white cloth behind. A sadhu in orange robes and a red turban sits on the ground with bare feet, a yellow shawl draped over his shoulders. Beside him an older man with white beard and glasses wears a dark blazer, white dhoti, and multiple beaded rudraksha-style malas, and holds his hands together. Two younger men in jacket and striped shirt sit at left near a steel tumbler, and a woman in a blue sari sits at right edge. A red-and-cream mat lies under the older men, and a parked red vehicle is visible in the background. No identifiable a person appearance is present among these people.

Photo 11730992February 15 20132013-02-15Outdoor scene of elderly Indian pilgrims sitting on a dusty ground at a crowded bazaar-like gathering. A bearded old man on the right wears a white turban-style cap? No: he has white hair and a long white beard, a faint tilak on his forehead, and a blue-grey shawl over his shoulders, sitting with his hands extended toward bundles. Beside him a bald older man in a light shirt and dhoti sits with hands near the bundles. On the left, a turbaned elderly man in a brown wrap and white cloth leans forward, and a woman in a lavender patterned sari sits with her face in her hand. Around them are a steel tiffin carrier, a metal pot, cloth sacks, a rolled bedding bundle, a bamboo carrying frame, and a red plastic bag. Standing people in white kurtas and colourful saris fill the background among market stalls.2013-02-10Photograph of three sadhus seated and standing outside a striped yellow, blue and green tent at a Kumbh Mela camp, with bamboo poles and drying cloth.
