The central figure wears a deep red-orange turban, an orange-red robe and a white and red flower garland, with a rudraksha mala visible. Around them, saffron-robed attendants with shaved heads hold and guide them, while men in white shirts and dhotis and boys in casual clothes press close. Coconuts hang at the right edge. The scene suggests a darshan or procession moment in a village setting.2014-07-01June 19 20142014-06-19 +1 copiesA photograph of a group of saffron-clad religious figures exiting an orange-walled doorway into a bright hall.
