A photograph taken under a white tarpaulin canopy with a red cloth overhead and a fluorescent tube light fixed to the frame. A group of men stands close together facing a central figure in an orange-saffron robe with long, swept-back dark hair. Around him, men wear white kurtas or shirts with white dhotis and orange shawls draped over the shoulders. A bare-chested man in checked shorts stands at the left edge, and a man in a cream shirt and white dhoti stands at right. Greenery and a lattice wall are visible behind. The central figure has distinctive long hair and an orange robe, a probable match for the page's a person reference, though his face is partly turned away from the viewer.2006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18October 07 20062006-10-07Photo of a temple-corridor scene with a central figure wearing a white shawl over an orange-red dhoti and a large garland of white flowers with red and green accents, with yellow-orange tilak on the forehead.
