Outdoor photograph under an overcast grey sky with green trees at left. A crowd of devotees in orange and saffron clothing stands close together, many with rudraksha malas. In the centre, a man with short dark hair wears an orange shawl over an orange kurta and gestures with his hands while others around him bow and fold their hands in namaste. A woman in a white top with a long braid and glasses stands beside him, with an orange shawl draped over her shoulders. In the foreground a woman in a green top and pink headwrap bends forward, and several men bow low. No appearance-based cue for a specific person is reliable, so the central figure is labelled only as a man in orange; identity is uncertain.2006-06-04May 13 20142014-05-13June 04 20062006-06-04July 12 20062006-07-12Outdoor photo on bare reddish earth at an ashram gathering.
