A photograph inside a thatched bamboo hut with woven walls and a pale cloth-covered floor, where several sadhus in saffron and orange robes sit in conversation. A man with long dark hair and rudraksha mala beads sits at left-centre in orange, while a bald man in orange sits on the far left in discussion. An elderly bearded sadhu with white hair sits cross-legged at right in orange, and a seated figure in a red shawl occupies the lower right. A young man in a white shirt sits near a small table with papers and boxes. A calendar hangs on the wall at upper right. The setting suggests an akhada camp at a Kumbh Mela.
