Hindu Fakirs, Bengal

Exterior shot of a group of 10 younger and older ascetics sitting or standing under a ruinous-looking colonnade. The boys mostly have shaved heads, the older men wear dreadlocks. The sadhus have various objects such as a metal pot, shillum, rudrakshamala and bowl next to them. The ruined woven mat and the broken jug in the foreground add to the ruinous impression of the scene.
