Outdoor photograph at dusk of a ritual ground near palm trees and street lights, with large piles of grey gravel and stacked cut stone slabs in the foreground. A small fire smoulders on the packed earth where several saffron-robed monks in orange and white stand and move around a tall wooden pole or flagstaff. Behind them a row of men in white dhotis and shirts stands in a line, and a few more white-clad people sit along a red-painted low wall at right, watching. An orange-draped seat or table with a red cloth stands at the left edge. The scene is a ritual gathering at a construction-site-like ground.

A photograph of an outdoor construction site at an ashram, with bare red-brown earth, heaps of gravel and red soil, and rows of concrete pillars and partly built cinder-block walls. A cluster of about twenty people in saffron and white clothing, some in orange robes and some in white dhotis and shirts, stand around a blue barrel near the middle of the site. Workers in lungis and shirts are scattered among them. A white vehicle and a few palm trees and a water tower sit in the hazy background. A small figure in orange stands atop a pillar on the left. The attribution to a specific person is uncertain from appearance alone.2006-12-12August 18 20162016-08-18December 22 20062006-12-22December 12 20062006-12-12A photograph of an outdoor construction site beside a grey block wall, with piles of red-brown earth and grey crushed stone in the foreground, stacked concrete blocks at left, and metal bar frames laid on the ground. Several men stand in a loose row at right: most wear saffron-orange robes and some carry tall saffron-tipped poles, while two men in plain white dhotis and shirts stand among them. The man at the centre front wears an orange robe and has long dark hair swept back, a cue that is compatible with the page's reference to a person but not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so his role is described only as a saffron-robed devotee. A small purple logo appears at upper left. Overall the scene shows ashram grounds under development.2006-09-16February 10 20072007-02-10 +1 copiesFebruary 13 20072007-02-13 +1 copiesDecember 12 20062006-12-12 +1 copiesA photograph of homa preparation at dawn in an open dirt yard. In the foreground, a man in white dhoti and an orange shawl stands at the edge of a concrete-rimmed fire pit, holding a long wooden stick, with a plate of white cloths beside him. Wooden logs and planks are stacked near the pit, and a stack of pale blocks sits in the middle distance. Another person in orange kneels partly visible at the bottom of the frame by the pit. Several people in white and orange walk across the yard toward a low red-roofed building with a green roof and palm trees behind.2006-11-21A photograph of an outdoor construction site with reddish-brown excavated earth, mounds of soil, a stack of rubble and stones, and exposed footings with rebar frames. A group of people in saffron/orange robes and white dhotis and kurtas stand and walk around the pit, with a man in a dark blue shirt and grey trousers in the foreground. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands beside a blue barrel, and a man in a red cap is at right. Tall trees and a lamp post form the backdrop under hazy sky. A figure in orange with a saffron shawl in the centre may be a monastic, but the image does not allow a clear identification.2006-12-12December 12 20062006-12-12December 12 20062006-12-12 +1 copies
