The man at the centre has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala, gold armbands and a saffron wrap, and is seated beside a bald, white-bearded elder in orange with a rudraksha necklace. Other saffron-clad men with orange turbans sit at tables on the right, and cash notes and papers lie on the tables in front of them. The image is most plausibly the Haridwar bhandara described on the page, but the central man's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2014-03-13Indoor photograph of a seated row of saffron-robed sadhus at a bhandara in a pillared hall with pink walls.
