A photograph of two saffron-robed sannyasis walking together indoors past a metal railing. The figure on the left is a bald, older man in orange robes with white tripundra marks on his forehead, gesturing with one hand and smiling. Beside him, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and white forehead marks wears an orange shawl over a sleeveless orange garment, with his hands loosely held. Behind them, men in white and orange clothing and eyeglasses stand in a whitewashed hall with colourful red, blue and yellow decorative banners on the walls and framed posters. The appearance of the long-haired figure in orange is consistent with the page's description of a person, but identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so he is described by role and the a person field is set to unsure.2010-06-18A photograph inside a temple hall during a darshan-style line.
