Night-time outdoor photo on bare ground beside a dark tree. A bearded man in a long-sleeved white shirt and white dhoti kneels on the ground, handling a white cloth. Seated on a folding chair in front is a figure with long dark hair wearing a saffron-orange robe, smiling, with bare feet. Behind them, five people stand in a loose group: a woman in a beige salwar with an orange-patterned shawl, and four men in white shirts and dark trousers, several wearing necklaces. On the far right an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a white shawl smiles. A red-and-white checked bag and a small container sit on the ground beside the chair.

Night outdoor photo on grass under dark trees. A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair sits on a low folding chair with bare feet, hands pressed together in greeting and smiling. Before him, a man in white shirt and white dhoti kneels on the grass with hands joined, a red flask and a small bunch of flowers beside him. Around them, about six standing men in white shirts and dhotis and a woman in a beige salwar with an orange dupatta watch; one man on the right holds a white cloth over his shoulder, and another man sits cross-legged at the far right.

Ordinary white-clad devotees are present around him.2008-11-13Night-time outdoor photo on grass beneath a dark tree.
