A photograph of a crowded outdoor scene under trees beside an orange bus. In the centre, a man in a red-orange turban and white garland of flowers is being pressed by a crowd of devotees. Two bald saffron-robed monks with orange shawls and rudraksha malas stand in front, one with a tilak on his forehead. Many men in white shirts and dhotis surround them, some with folded hands, and a few hold garlands. The area is busy and hot, with a red banner and a small shelter at left.

At the centre, a figure in a red-and-maroon robe and a red-orange turban wears a long garland of red and white flowers and stands among shaved-headed men in saffron and orange cloths and white shirts who press forward, some with hands raised. Onlookers in white shirts and dhotis fill the foreground and the background. The setting suggests a darshan or procession visit; the figure's face is not clearly visible enough to confirm identity, and the appearance cues are only partial, so the candidate is uncertain.2014-07-01July 04 20142014-07-04A crowd presses around a man in a red-orange turban, white-and-red floral garland and orange-saffron clothing, standing beside a large tree trunk on a dusty roadside. Several shaven-headed sannyasis in saffron robes and rudraksha malas grasp his hands and arms, while men in white shirts and orange-beaded necklaces reach toward him. Behind them an orange bus, a white van and many onlookers with raised phones fill the scene, and a man in a grey shirt stands near the centre.2014-07-01May 11 20122012-05-11A crowd surrounds a central figure in a deep red-maroon robe with a long rudraksha mala draped to the waist, hair swept back, extending both arms outward as people reach toward him.

A central figure in saffron-orange robes wears a long garland of red and white flowers and a rudraksha mala, and is greeted by a man in white shirt and white dhoti who has his palms pressed together.

Orange flags and a white boat-like structure appear at the left edge.2014-07-04 +1 copies
