Night outdoor photo at a dirt-ground site under a tree. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes sits on a white stone seat with arms folded, bare-shouldered. In front of him, a saffron-robed devotee prostrates on the ground, palms pressed together near his sandals. Behind them, a group of onlookers stands and sits: several in saffron robes and white dhotis with rudraksha malas, a woman in a white sari, and a man holding a camera. Some people are seated on the ground at left. The scene is lit dimly from the surroundings, with a parked vehicle in the background. The seated man shows distinctive long swept-back hair, bare upper body and saffron wrap, consistent with the page's reference to a person, though his appearance is not fully certain.2006-08-21A photograph in a dim hall before a dark red velvet curtain.
