He smiles and raises a hand while devotees in white shirts and dhotis, some with white and orange sashes and tilaka marks, reach toward him. A man with white hair and a red-and-gold shawl stands behind the crowd, and an older man in white with a vermilion mark is at the left. The setting is a stone temple wall with carved panels. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, identified by the orange turban, long hair, silver shawl and rudraksha cues, shown in the presence of devotees.2008-01-02May 08 20122012-05-08A crowded temple interior at night during a ritual visit.
