A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a yellow sash and a heavy gold floral necklace leans forward, handling a white cloth draped over a dark stone object. Beside him stands a shaved-headed young man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a small pendant, with white horizontal tilak marks on his forehead. Flowers and rudraksha beads lie on the table at right. The long-haired man's appearance with long hair and ornate gold necklace is a compatible presentation, so Swamiji (probable) is noted as the one tending the cloth; the shaved-headed attendant is a devotee or priest. The white-cloth ritual suggests abhishekam or puja preparation.2013-07-10July 10 20132013-07-10May 27 20132013-05-27May 27 20132013-05-27A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe with a bare shoulder and arm, wearing a long necklace of large gold beads with a woven rudraksha-style mala and a gold armlet.
