Outdoor photograph beneath tall palm trees. A man with long dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and a draped saffron-orange robe with a gold-bordered edge stands on a raised stone platform, holding a long orange cord that hangs down. A bald man in orange robes sits at the lower right, and another man in orange clothing sits nearby to the right, both connected to the work with the cord. Marigold-like yellow flowers rest on the stone base at the bottom, beside a carved stone foot.

October 07 20112011-10-07A man with long swept-back dark hair stands outdoors among palm trees, wearing an orange saffron wrap with gold-bordered edges and a dark rudraksha mala around his neck. A small red tilak marks his forehead. He holds an orange rope with one hand and looks downward. A bald man in saffron clothing sits in the lower right corner, looking toward him. Yellow flower garlands hang at the left edge, and a carved stone base is visible at the bottom left.
