March 23 20082008-03-23A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron garment with long, swept-back black hair, wearing a long garland of pale flower buds and rudraksha beads over the shoulders. The figure bends forward with eyes lowered, holding a whole pineapple in one hand while the other hand is raised, palm open, above a steel tray holding red powder. Behind, a man in a grey shirt with a wristwatch and rings stands with hands clasped, and another man in a white shirt wearing a black beaded mala stands nearby.
