A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron wrap over his shoulders and holding a sheet of white paper, stands in the centre gesturing as he speaks. Beside him on the right, a shaven-headed man in an orange dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala stands with hands together. On the left, two men in white shirts with orange trim and white trousers listen, one with arms folded. Behind them a wall banner reads a passage about meditation and bliss beside small photographs of a robed figure, and a bookshop display is visible. a person appearance is an uncertain candidate; the central figure's long hair and saffron wrap are compatible cues but not decisive.2008-12-06June 19 20082008-06-19December 20 20072007-12-20Five men stand barefoot on a pale concrete floor inside a hall with white walls and framed display boards. A man in a flowing orange robe with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bead necklace stands centre, holding papers and gesturing mid-conversation. Opposite him, a man in an orange dhoti-style garment with a red border and a rudraksha-style mala holds his hands together in a respectful gesture. Two men in white kurta and dhoti clothing and one in grey trousers and a white shirt stand listening nearby. Above them hang colourful photo panels showing temple and religious imagery. The centre figure's appearance is consistent with a person, given the long hair, orange robe and bead necklace, though this is an uncertain appearance-based label.2008-12-06June 22 20082008-06-22A photograph of an indoor hall with tiled floor and white walls, where a procession of saffron-robed sannyasis walks toward a doorway.
