A photograph inside a plain peach-walled room at a Kumbh Mela camp, where saffron-robed sadhus sit on floor mats around low wooden tables set with brass thalis, steel cups and bowls of food and fruit. A man at left wears a long-haired, orange-robed, orange-turbaned look with a rudraksha-style necklace and sits cross-legged on a patterned mat; the cues are present but the identity is uncertain, so he is described only as a seated sadhu with long hair and an orange turban. Nearby, a bald monk in orange sits with a mala, and a man in a red kurta with a camera bag and a man in a yellow dhoti-style wrap stand among the group. A woman in a teal dress stands at back, and a young man in a striped shirt and yellow scarf sits in the foreground.
