February 12 20072007-02-12 +1 copiesAn outdoor photo of a group gathered on a dry, sandy ground beside rocks and shrubbery. A young man on the right has long dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and a loose orange saffron wrap draped over bare shoulders; he is smiling and facing a group of children. Around him, several girls in white dhotis or white tops wear dark prayer beads, and a girl in an orange floral top stands with her hand on her hip. A woman in a blue patterned blouse with a white shawl and a long braid stands with her back to the camera, and a boy in a green patterned shirt and a child in a pink striped shirt are in the foreground. The person in orange is an appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable), given the long swept-back hair, saffron wrap and red tilak, shown in conversation with the children; it is not a confirmed identification.2007-02-02 +1 copiesFebruary 12 20072007-02-12 +1 copiesOutdoor scene on a dirt ground with children and adults gathered informally.

Around him, girls in white garments and beaded necklaces and a girl in an orange top stand close; a woman in a blue patterned top and white shawl is seen from behind, and a boy in a yellow-green shirt and a boy in a red-and-white striped shirt are at the edge.
