Around him stand several young men: two in orange robes, one in an orange shawl holding a folded cloth, and others in white kurtas and white dhotis, some with arms folded. One holds a colourful book. A wooden carved panel and a brass-toned lamp stand at the right foreground, and a small flame with red flowers rests on the floor near the lower right. Concrete block walls and a wire mesh enclosure form the background.2006-09-20November 23 20062006-11-23Inside a thatched-roof hut with cinderblock walls, a woman in an orange sari with rudraksha mala stands at center holding a small metal cup or bowl, while a man in white shirt and white dhoti at the right, with a white cloth over his shoulder, stands near stacked bundles and folded bedding.
