Two men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls stand centre, one wearing a long beaded rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, the other with a gold necklace and multiple beaded malas. A man in a white dhoti bends low in front of them, seemingly offering respect. Around them, men in white kurtas and white dhotis stand watching, one holding a long wooden staff at left. A cameraperson with a video camera is visible at the left edge, and colourful paper decorations hang overhead beneath a canopy.2012-05-18May 18 20122012-05-18May 18 20122012-05-18 +1 copiesJuly 03 20142014-07-03A photograph of a street scene at dusk in front of a bridge with a sun emblem and a blue sign.

Several people are visible in the crowd behind.2016-06-03September 24 20122012-09-24November 16 20152015-11-16August 09 20072007-08-09June 24 20142014-06-24 +2 copiesOutdoor photograph in bright daylight under trees beside a white wall. A central figure in saffron-orange robes wears a long garland of red and white flowers and a rudraksha mala, and is greeted by a man in white shirt and white dhoti who has his palms pressed together. Other saffron-robed sannyasis stand nearby, one bald with glasses, and a bare-chested attendant in white dhoti and gold-toned necklace stands behind. A man in white shirt bends forward to touch the feet of the garlanded figure, and onlookers in white shirts and mundus stand in the background. Orange flags and a white boat-like structure appear at the left edge.2014-07-04 +1 copiesOutdoor photograph at a Kumbh Mela setting with a dirt ground and a yellow-ochre painted wall. A tall man in a maroon-and-gold dhoti and a red turban, wearing a heavy gold necklace and a red-beaded bracelet on his upper arm, stands at the centre with his hand extended toward a man in white kurta and orange dhoti who bows low before him. Beside him, two bald sadhus in maroon robes with gold sashes and gold necklaces look on. To the right, a man with a red turban wears a pink-orange robe and rudraksha mala, and bearded sadhus in orange robes stand nearby with hands folded. Four men in saffron robes and a seated figure appear as partially visible people. The tall central figure with the turban and ornate gold necklace matches the a person cues of a turban and ornate gold ceremonial jewellery, so he is treated as a candidate present in person.2015-09-14
