Outdoor photo on a dirt ground in front of trees and a stack of blue metal pipes. A figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and sandals raises one arm and points forward, appearing to direct something. Behind them on the ground are a row of metal deity murtis and figures in pink, red and orange garments, some on pedestals, with a coiled rope nearby. To the right, a woman in a pink sari walks past and a man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala stands at the edge. a person (saffron robe, long swept-back hair and a rudraksha-style mala visible on the man instead) is the candidate; the orange-robed figure matches the presentation, though the page states he is not at this event, so appearance is uncertain.2006-12-22December 22 20062006-12-22A photograph on a dirt ground outdoors shows a person in a saffron-orange draped robe raising one arm upward with the palm open, standing before a row of silver-toned deity murti and statues, some wearing pink, red and orange cloth.
