Outdoor ritual scene in a courtyard beside a red-painted pillar. A figure seated cross-legged on a low wooden platform over a mat, back to the camera, wears a saffron-orange shawl over the shoulders and a rudraksha mala with a dark-beaded necklace, with hair tied up. Hands rest near a brass kalasha-style pot with handles set on a bed of ash or grey stone at the foreground. Behind, a seated crowd of about twenty people in white and pastel shirts sits on the ground facing the ritual. The swami-like figure's appearance matches the page's claimed presence, with orange shawl and rudraksha cues, so this is a person identification. Stone sculptures appear in the background.

A brass kalasha-style vessel with a spout rests on the ground in the foreground beside a wooden platform. Facing him, a seated audience of roughly fifteen to twenty men wearing white shirts, white dhotis and some in plain shirts sits on mats in front of an orange wall with white-painted pillars and green plants. The setting suggests a guided meditation or satsang session. The seated figure has long dark hair pulled back, and his appearance is consistent with a possible a person candidate, though the rear view makes it uncertain.2011-02-20November 14 20102010-11-14 +2 copies2011 - Photo AlbumFebruary 20 20112011-02-20 +1 copies2011 - Photo Album
