In the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe and orange turban wears a long white flower garland and rudraksha beads, smiling as he walks. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts, several with orange shawls or rudraksha malas and one carrying a bundle, walk in attendance. A man in a striped shirt stands at the right edge, and a tilak-marked man in white with a rudraksha mala walks at the left foreground. The setting resembles a temple or ashram courtyard.2006-11-25A photograph of a temple courtyard scene with a central figure with hands joined in namaskar, draped in multiple long flower garlands of white, yellow and red blooms, wearing a dark brown robe. Around him, several men in saffron/orange sannyasi cloths and rudraksha malas stand close, one in orange at right wearing black beaded malas and thick glasses.
