Interior of a bamboo-matting hut at a Kumbh Mela camp, with pale bamboo walls and wires running along them. On the right, an elderly white-bearded sadhu with glasses sits cross-legged on a cushion in orange robes, a wooden staff resting nearby. Beside him are folded white cloths, a brass vessel and a red-cloth bundle. A man in a striped shirt with an ID badge sits on the right-centre. In the foreground, an orange-robed figure with a shaved head and rudraksha beads sits with his back to the camera, and a woman in orange draped cloth sits at the far left. A figure in orange with a garland of beads sits behind them. Seated devotees fill the bottom edge.

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.2013-02-15February 15 20132013-02-15February 15 20132013-02-15Inside a thatched bamboo hut with a bare bulb overhead, a long-haired man in flowing saffron robes stands speaking, holding a small object in one hand, while a shaved-headed man in orange robes stands at right with a black bag. Around them, several saffron-robed sadhus and sannyasis sit on a white cloth floor, some with beads and rudraksha malas, one with a white beard. A seated woman in orange with a beaded necklace gestures, and papers, cloth bundles and a white box rest on the floor. The scene looks like an informal gathering of holy men.2013-02-15February 15 20132013-02-15 +2 copiesSeptember 11 20152015-09-11 +1 copiesFebruary 15 20132013-02-15September 16 20122012-09-16Photo inside a thatched bamboo hut with reed-mat walls and a sheeted floor. Three saffron-clad figures stand in conversation. On the left, a shaved-headed monk in orange with a rudraksha mala is partly turned away. In the centre, a smiling person with shoulder-length dark hair wears an orange robe with yellow borders and holds hands together. On the right, an elderly bearded sadhu in an orange turban and orange robe, with a white beaded necklace, faces them with folded hands. Behind them are red cushions, a patterned rug and white bolsters. The centre figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm a person's identity, so the a person value is unsure.2013-02-15 +2 copiesFebruary 23 20072007-02-23May 20 20122012-05-20 +1 copiesInterior of a thatched hut with bamboo-and-reed walls and a white sheet spread on the floor.
