A long-haired, bearded man in a saffron-orange robe with an orange cloth draped over his arm stands on the left, clasping the hands of an older man with grey hair who bows forward in a white shirt and white dhoti. Behind them, several men in white shirts and white dhotis watch, including one in glasses, one in a red checked shirt, and one wearing a rudraksha-style bead necklace with a pendant. A parked car and low buildings sit in the background. The scene shows a respectful greeting with the saffron-robed man receiving the bowing man. Whether the saffron-robed man is the a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the role is described without identification.2009-03-03Outdoor photo at a temple construction site among trees, with a golden-painted shrine structure and a purple cloth behind.
