In the foreground a barefoot man in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban and a long rudraksha mala walks forward, one hand held near his chest. Behind him several saffron-robed sannyasis follow, one with a long beard and a dark mala, others in orange with garlands, with a few men in white clothes further back. A white kolam floral design is drawn on the ground at right, and a tree-lined backdrop shows string lights glowing in the distance. The person in front has distinctive orange turban and rudraksha cues, but the face and build are not clear enough to confirm identity, so this is an uncertain appearance match.2008-12-30December 30 20082008-12-30December 30 20072007-12-30December 30 20082008-12-30December 30 20082008-12-30Dusk scene on a dirt path beneath large trees, with a low concrete curb on the left.
