A figure seated at centre wears a saffron-orange robe and a red and yellow flower garland, with a shaved-looking head and a raised hand in blessing. Around them stand about a dozen people in everyday Indian clothes: women in pink, grey, white and red saris or salwar, and men in white shirts and trousers, including a boy in a checked shirt. The orange-robed figure's appearance is consistent with the page's description, with saffron robe and garland as the main cues, but the face and head shape are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the a person field is unsure.2010-02-17Night gathering outdoors under a tarpaulin with a string of small bunting visible at top left.
