Four men in saffron-orange dhotis and wraps walk single file along a sandy path lined with paving blocks and a white cloth runner beside a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. The front man, in the centre, wears a deep orange wrap, an ornate gold-toned sash, a long orange-and-white bead necklace and a red tilak on his forehead; his arms are bare with gold armbands, and he gestures lightly with one hand. Behind him a younger man holds a bowl or offering in front of him, and two more men follow in orange cloth with red-trimmed borders. To the right, a dark stone deity murti stands beside a mound heaped with red flowers and a blue cloth hangs from a tree branch. The setting is an outdoor shrine grounds with a bench and red-cloth altar.

A central man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi walks barefoot on a white cloth strip laid over a woven mat, wearing a brown-red garment with a yellow waist sash and a long rudraksha mala. Behind him, young boys in saffron-orange robes with maroon borders and white forehead markings follow; one boy at left holds a tray or plate with offerings, and others carry long brass horns. Green foliage and stone slabs frame the scene.2013-05-30March 05 20112011-03-05 +1 copiesMay 18 20132013-05-18May 29 20132013-05-29July 07 20092009-07-07February 13 20082008-02-13A barefoot man in saffron-orange robes with a maroon border walks along a dirt path beneath a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. He wears a long rudraksha mala across his chest and a red tilak on his forehead, looking downward. A low curved stone bench lines the path, with sandy mounds and a small shrine-like structure visible behind. Another person stands at the far right edge in white. The cues here are a rudraksha mala and saffron robes but the face and presentation are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role as a sannyasi.2011-03-05
