A man with shoulder-length dark hair, bare-chested under a long saffron-orange wrap, stands on the right holding a small white card, speaking with a group of boys. Among them, a boy in an orange shirt with a red beaded necklace stands on the left, another in a checked shirt faces the man, and a boy in a grey vest reaches toward the card. Behind, a man in white with a saffron wrap stands near a tree. Dappled trees and a fence line sit in the background. The man has distinctive long swept hair, saffron wrap and no visible rudraksha or crown; the appearance cues are only partly distinctive, so identity is uncertain.2008-04-04November 14 20082008-11-14A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a bare chest wrapped in an orange-saffron cloth stands in an open outdoor yard, turned to his right, surrounded by a crowd of children and young people. Several boys wear white shirts and dark rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, one boy wears a green polo shirt, and a girl in a white shawl stands nearby. Behind them is a white single-storey building with red-trimmed windows and a corrugated roof.
