July 07 20142014-07-07Outdoor photograph at a residential gate on a concrete path scattered with yellow flower petals and a rangoli-style design. A bare-chested man in orange-saffron dhoti with a flower garland smiles widely at the centre, appearing to be a person candidate with long dark hair and a garland; the appearance cues are not distinct enough to confirm identity. Around him, devotees in white and cream sarees and a pink shirt stand or bow, one woman in a grey-blue saree with hands folded in prayer, and a man in white kurta bends low to touch the ground near the feet. Green trees and a white wall frame the scene.2014-07-07 +1 copiesOutdoor photo on a brick-paved path lined with palm trees beside a dark car.
