December 20 20092009-12-20A photograph at a doorway of a cream-coloured building with panelled doors. A bald man in saffron robes with a matching orange head covering and a gold bead necklace walks barefoot, his hand raised to his face, while a man in white dhoti and shirt guides him. Behind them a long-haired man in orange robes smiles and a man in a white shirt and dhoti with a rudraksha mala walks at right. Several other men in white and grey shirts stand in the dark interior behind. Two red-and-white items are visible at the left edge. The saffron-clad bald man is an appearance-based candidate for a person, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm.2009-12-20Photograph of sadhus walking along a covered corridor with pale columns and a railing.
