Outdoor photo at a crowded Kumbh Mela site in misty daylight. A man with long dark hair, in an orange saffron wrap and rudraksha mala, clasps hands with a man in a white shirt and dark trousers who holds a blue cloth. Around them, orange-robed sadhus with bald heads and rudraksha malas stand watching. A man in a beige jacket and orange cap also stands nearby. Behind them, banners, flags and tents line the open ground with other visitors.2013-02-15February 15 20132013-02-15March 10 20142014-03-10May 07 20162016-05-07March 10 20142014-03-10February 08 20132013-02-08A crowd gathers outdoors under leafy trees in daylight. In the foreground a man in an orange turban, orange robe and rudraksha mala stands with palms pressed together in namaste, smiling broadly. Beside him a man in white clothes with an orange shawl, glasses and a red tilak presses his hands together. Other men in white shirts and dhotis, some with orange shawls, surround them, with more onlookers and a few women in saris behind. The appearance-based candidate for the figure in orange is consistent with a person, but the face cannot be confirmed, so identity is uncertain.2007-01-12Outdoor photo at a festival camp with orange and red tents and string lights. In the centre, a bearded man wearing a bright orange turban, orange robes and a long brown rudraksha-style bead mala shakes hands with a bald man in an orange shirt and orange robe, who holds a small pink container. To the left, a bald man in orange and gold ceremonial necklaces gestures while speaking. Behind them stand a man in a lavender shirt holding a metal staff and phone, a young man in yellow with glasses, and a long-haired sadhu in orange at the right edge. Several other people in orange and white robes move through the crowd. Dusty ground and parked white vehicles are visible.2016-05-07February 09 20132013-02-09December 30 20092009-12-30May 08 20162016-05-08A photograph of a crowded outdoor festival walkway beside a striped red and yellow tent. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron dhoti-style garment, a gold ceremonial necklace with a large pendant, rudraksha-style beads and a white forehead marking; he is probable Swamiji by the distinctive long hair, ornate gold necklaces and saffron attire, and he is walking and gesturing while holding the arm of a man in pink and orange. Beside them stand a shaved-headed man in saffron with gold beads, another shaved-headed man in saffron on the right, and a man in pink top with orange wrap. Around them are devotees and officials in white shirts and grey clothing, one wearing a blue lanyard badge.2013-02-09
