A dirt path through an ashram construction site runs past a thatched palm-leaf roof on the left. A man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl and walking barefoot, leads a small group. Behind him, a man in orange and another in white follow, while a few people in white clothing work or walk further back. A blue-and-yellow truck is parked near stacked concrete blocks, cut timber and piles of gravel. Young trees and rubble surround the path, with a two-storey building in the background.

September 19 20062006-09-19A smiling person in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban walks across a dusty construction site, eyes lowered, hands folded at the waist. Long dark hair falls to the shoulders. Behind and around them, several men in white dhotis and white shirts work near piles of red earth, a wooden plank and a metal pole, while rebar cages and square concrete-formed columns stand in trenches. A stone boundary wall, a white cloth canopy on poles, a water tank on a metal stand and green trees fill the background. A man in white at the right edge holds a long wooden stick.August 09 20072007-08-09Outdoor procession on a dirt path beside a heap of grey gravel and a half-built white concrete structure with golden pillars.

A central figure in a saffron-orange turban and matching orange robe, with a long shawl draped over the shoulders and sandals, stands beside an excavated trench lined with red earth and wooden planks. Several workers in white dhotis and a man in a blue checked shirt and shorts walk along the trench, and a white building with a green roof and a palm tree appear in the background. Mounds of reddish soil and stacked timber surround the scene. The figure has long hair and a turban, and the appearance is consistent with a person, but the frame is hazy and partly obscured so this remains uncertain. +1 copiesA photograph of a dirt path beside a thatched bamboo hut with lattice walls, where a group of people walk in procession. In the foreground a man in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long dark wavy hair and a wooden walking staff strides forward in sandals; he appears to be the lead figure, with a person presentation cue of long swept hair and saffron clothing. Behind him, several young men wear white dhotis or kurtas and saffron-orange shawls, some walking barefoot. A large printed banner on the hut wall shows a portrait and text. Scattered stones, low shrubs and trees line the path under an overcast sky.2006-09-20August 09 20072007-08-09October 07 20112011-10-07September 16 20062006-09-16A group of robed men walks single file along a dirt path between a concrete block wall on the right and a lot of rubble, gravel and tall grass on the left, with palm trees and green trees behind.
