June 19 20142014-06-19Outdoor photograph of a man in a rust-red sleeveless wrap with a golden-yellow waist sash, wearing a long rudraksha mala across his chest and a red hair tie in a bun, with white vibhuti marks on his forehead, smiling as he turns toward a group of boys. Around him, many shaved-headed boys in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha beads stand with white tilak on their foreheads, several with hands folded in prayer. Behind them, men in white shirts and a lush green palm-and-foliage backdrop complete the scene. The man shows probable Swamiji cues: long dark hair swept into a bun, a rudraksha mala, and ceremonial red-and-gold attire, shown here among ashram children.2014-06-19A procession in an outdoor temple-like setting.
