January 11 20162016-01-11A photograph of a saffron-robed sannyasi standing outdoors beside a carved stone temple pillar draped with white and red flower garlands. He holds a rope in his raised right hand and looks down with eyes closed, wearing a tall bun of dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, long rudraksha malas and red-and-white flower garlands around his neck. Palm trees and greenery fill the background, and a bundle of leaves sits atop the pillar. The scene reflects the flag-hoisting rite at the start of a Brahmotsavam, though the flag itself is not visible. The man's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, and no printed caption names him here.2016-01-11A photograph of a man in a rust-red saffron-toned wrap standing beside a decorated wooden ratha or chariot, gazing upward while gripping two ropes.
