At front left, a long-haired person in a saffron-orange robe and rudraksha mala walks barefoot; the appearance cues (long swept hair, saffron robe, rudraksha beads) are distinctive, and the page does not name him here, so the identity is uncertain. Beside him, a bald man in white with an orange shawl and a barefoot man in white with an orange shawl walk along. Behind them a line of men in white dhotis and kurtas, many with hands folded in anjali, stand in greeting; an older man in a lavender dhoti and shirt and a younger man in white with a rudraksha mala stand among them. Small stone deity murtis and a garland-draped doorway are visible in the background of the ashram buildings.2010-07-01
