A 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.
