A photograph taken in an outdoor colonnaded courtyard with a grey stone ledge and red-and-white striped walls. A young man in saffron-orange robes stands barefoot on a wet concrete floor, one hand raised to his head. He wears a long rudraksha mala with a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. To the left, a white-and-saffron figure reclines on a stone platform beside brass lamps and a kalasha-like vessel, and a bright orange statue and marigold garlands are visible. Behind the courtyard, an open doorway with red curtains leads to a building with a corrugated roof. Pada-puja and procession references in the page suggest the setting. The candidate's appearance is uncertain, so he is described by role as a sannyasi.

He wears a long black rudraksha mala draped over his chest and has long dark hair swept back; he raises one hand to his head in a gesture of hair adjustment or contemplation. On the ledge sit brass lamps, a brass vessel and a plate of fruit and flowers. Red-and-white striped walls and orange curtains frame the space.2010-10-15November 25 20102010-11-25October 24 20102010-10-24November 15 20102010-11-15July 21 20102010-07-21September 15 20112011-09-15January 17 20082008-01-17A photograph of a man standing beside an ornately carved stone pillar in a temple, looking upward with a slight smile.
