November 25 20102010-11-25Outdoor photo in a sandy courtyard beside a palm-fringed grove. A single seated person in an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha mala around the neck sits cross-legged on a mat within a circular stone-lined platform decorated with white rangoli. Behind is a tall orange and red pillar and a red-brick base holding a dark bull statue garlanded with flowers. Several dark stone figures stand on a platform at left, and a tall red metal frame structure stands at right with orange banners. Sunlight flares through the trees. Small placards sit at the bases of the statues. The seated person's appearance is consistent with Swamiji (probable), given the saffron robe, long hair and rudraksha mala, though identity is not certain.2010-11-25A seated man in an orange saffron robe and a dark rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a mat within a circular ring of grey gravel and white lotus-patterned chalk outlines on bare earth.
