Three men in orange and rust-red robes sit together in front of a pale green draped cloth backdrop. The central man wears a rust-red turban, a brown rudraksha-bead mala with a long multi-strand necklace, and a red-brown wrap over his shoulder, smiling and gesturing with his right hand. To his right, a bald man in saffron-orange robes and a beaded mala laughs warmly toward him. On the left, a bearded older man in orange wraps and beads holds a book. A sadhu wearing orange cloth is partly visible at the far right edge. The setting looks like an open tent or pavilion event.

Three seated men on a stage before a decorated backdrop with floral garlands. On the left, an elder in orange robes with a shawl and a bead mala sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat. In the centre, a man wearing a deep red turban, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a red-maroon garment sits with hands folded. On the right, a bearded elder in red-orange robes and a dark bead mala sits attentively. Vibhuti or tilak marks are visible on the foreheads of the men at left and right. Garlands and gold-toned decorations fill the background. The caption on the page identifies the event as a Kumbh Mela visit in 2015.

A photograph of a festive crowd of saffron-robed sadhus at a Kumbh Mela camp. In the centre, a smiling man wears an orange-red turban with a small red tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha-style beaded mala and a gold chain, and a saffron shawl; he presses his palms together in greeting. Left, an older bearded man with white beard, glasses and orange tilak also presses palms in namaste. Right foreground, a bald man with rudraksha malas accepts an offering or hand gesture. Behind them, cameras and more orange-clad devotees fill a red-draped tent. The central figure shows distinctive ceremonial adornments and a turban, so this is a person candidate, though the appearance is uncertain from this angle.

A photograph of saffron-robed sadhus seated together at an outdoor gathering in front of a pale gold draped cloth backdrop. The central figure wears a rust-red turban, a red tilak on his forehead, a red-brown robe and layered rudraksha malas with large wooden beads, and smiles broadly. Beside him on the left, a bearded elder with glasses wears orange robes and a white bead mala. On the right, a bald priest with a red tilak wears orange robes and a mala. Appearance cues for the central figure are not strong enough to name anyone, so he is described by role as a sadhu.

Four people sit close together indoors against a pale marble-patterned wall, with a patterned red cushion behind them. In the centre, a smiling person wears a rust-red turban with a vermilion tilak on the forehead, a rust-red robe with a gold border, and a heavy multi-strand gold bead necklace. To the right, a bald, smiling older man with a tilak and rudraksha mala wears orange robes and gestures with one raised hand. Behind them, a bearded man in orange robes sits with his head partly visible, and a person in a grey-white beard and orange robe sits at the left edge. At the bottom left, a person with curly grey hair is partly visible. The scene reads as a relaxed conversation among ascetics. The centre person has a turban, gold necklace and red-gold robe, which are cues consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the appearance is not conclusive.
