A photograph of villagers on a dirt road after a storm, with broken branches and palm debris behind a damaged brick wall. A man in a white dhoti with red-edged border and a thin red-and-white cloth over one shoulder walks bare-chested with a rudraksha-style bead necklace, his back to the camera and a shaved or cropped head. Nearby, a woman in a pale blue patterned dress with an orange flower in her hair stands with hands on hips, a girl in a blue top and a young girl in green stand near a grey-haired woman in a red blouse and yellow-white sari, and a boy in an orange checked shirt and blue shorts walks to the right. Several other women and children are partly visible at the left edge. Visible people: about ten, with several partly out of frame.

A large tree trunk stands in the centre. Several men wear white shirts and checked shirts, one wears a red cap, and an older man in a blue checked cloth stands in front. Women in blue, green and purple saris stand at the edges, one carrying a large white sack on her head and another holding a small child in a yellow dress. A few people hold small papers.

Many people stand and move about on sandy ground: men in white shirts and lungis or checked sarongs, a boy in a yellow shirt, a man in a black t-shirt and blue checked lungi, and a man in a plaid shirt carrying a young girl in a blue dress. Bundles of sacks and debris, bamboo poles and rope lines are scattered around. The sea is visible in the background. No swami is clearly identifiable in the scene.2012-01-03Outdoor photo in a village lane beside a whitewashed concrete house with an upper balcony, a coconut palm and bicycles, under bright daylight. A man in an orange saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala and a vibhuti-marked forehead walks forward on dirt ground, with a man in a red and white athletic shirt and dark trousers just beside him. Several boys and men in white shirts and light clothes crowd close around them, one man in a white headcloth and white shirt wearing a beaded necklace at the right edge. The orange-robed man's appearance is consistent with a presentation the page associates with a person, but the cues are limited to the robe and mala, so identity is uncertain.2012-01-06January 07 20122012-01-07 +1 copiesA dusty village dirt road with people queuing for food distribution.
