Another saffron-clad attendant with a shaved head and rudraksha beads carries an orange bag. Men and women in white dhotis and saris stand in the background.

Beside him, a shaved-headed older man in a bright orange shawl and robe, with a vermilion tilak on his forehead, gestures with one hand as he talks. Several other monks and men in the background, including a man in a brown shirt, stand near the wall. The left man has distinctive long hair, ornate beads and rudraksha, so a probable Swamiji identification applies to him as the person with long hair and rudraksha malas; the older saffron-clad man is a sannyasi in a visible tilak and shawl.2014-03-14October 03 20152015-10-03A group of saffron-robed sannyasis walks barefoot along a white marble pathway in front of a temple complex with white and gold spires and pillars.
