Outdoor evening scene in front of a reddish-orange building with a sign reading Anandeshwar Mandir. A man with long dark hair, wearing a lime-green sleeveless garment, gold armband and a thick white-and-red flower garland, stands with palms pressed together and face lifted upward. Around him, devotees with hands joined in anjali stand in a crowd; a bald man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and a woman in orange-bordered white sari also join hands. Musicians in white dhotis and red sashes play trumpets, and a cameraman in white attire films. The man in green has no visible saffron, crown or rudraksha cues, so his identity is not established from appearance. Several devotees are visible, roughly 6-20 people in view.2010-12-20Evening photograph of a street gathering in front of a red-walled building with a sign reading Sri Anandeshwar Mandir and a further sign reading Sri Ananda at right.
