Outdoors beneath a large banyan tree with spreading aerial roots, a smiling man with a tall dreadlocked hairstyle, bare-chested and wearing an orange-red saffron cloth draped over his body, stands on paved stone slabs with a red vermilion mark on his forehead. Beside him, a woman in a matching red-orange garment holds an open book and wears a red bead necklace. To the left, an older bespectacled man in white dhoti and shawl with red-and-gold border smiles, and a man in a lavender shirt and dark trousers stands behind him. Behind them, a red-walled structure and a small shrine area are visible, with rolled plans lying on the ground. Dreadlocks and saffron cloth suggest a sannyasi, with the page noting a construction context; the identity of the central figure remains uncertain from appearance alone.

February 01 20182018-02-01Outdoor scene beneath a large banyan tree with spreading roots, with a paved stone path in the foreground. A man with long dreadlocks and a dark beard, wearing a rust-red wrap and smiling broadly, stands at right, with a man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a red-and-gold border at left wearing glasses and smiling. Between them a man in a lavender shirt and dark trousers stands smiling, and two people in rust-red wraps stand behind: one holds a black video camera to his eye and the other, a woman with a red top and beaded necklaces, holds a blue notebook. The right figure has long dreadlocks in a bun, a rudraksha-style bead necklace and an ornate gold-toned pendant, consistent with the depicted-role cues of a sannyasi, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2018-02-01Outdoor photo beneath a large banyan tree with broad green leaves and a hanging purple flower. A bearded man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped in a dark cloth, wearing a rust-orange draped robe and a red wrist thread, stands barefoot on a stone path, smiling broadly. Beside him, an older man in white dhoti and shawl with a gold-bordered red cloth, gold wristwatch, glasses and a tilak on his forehead laughs and gestures. Two men in white shirts and dhotis and a pink shirt with a teal lungi stand behind them, along with partly visible figures. Red brick structures appear in the background. The orange-robed figure has distinctive long dreadlocks and saffron robes, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm the a person identity.2018-02-01February 01 20182018-02-01February 01 20182018-02-01Outdoors beneath a large banyan tree with spreading aerial roots, a bare-chested man in a long rust-orange wrap with a tall dark turban-style headwear and red tilak on his forehead gestures with an outstretched hand while speaking to a man in a white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl and a bun of hair.

A man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped in a dark cloth, wearing a rust-red saffron-toned robe over bare shoulders with a rudraksha-style necklace and a red bindi, raises his right hand to his brow in a salute while smiling and speaking.
