Around him, many shaved-headed boys in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha beads stand with white tilak on their foreheads, several with hands folded in prayer. Behind them, men in white shirts and a lush green palm-and-foliage backdrop complete the scene. The man shows probable Swamiji cues: long dark hair swept into a bun, a rudraksha mala, and ceremonial red-and-gold attire, shown here among ashram children.2014-06-19November 11 20172017-11-11November 11 20172017-11-11A group of men walks outdoors along a paved path in front of leafy trees and parked white vehicles, with uniformed police officers standing in the background.

Around him, sadhus in saffron-orange robes wear rudraksha malas, tied dreadlocked hair or turbans, and white tilak marks. Devotees in white dhotis, some with pink-bordered cloths, walk alongside. A photographer is visible at the left edge.2018-03-17 +1 copiesPhotograph of two men in saffron-orange dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas standing outdoors before a small fire pit and clay vessel.
