In the centre, a man in saffron-orange robes holds a rudraksha mala in his hands and stands on sandy ground. Beside him, a bald man in a white dhoti with gold border and a white shawl also stands, while a man in a white dhoti with a gold border and a teal hairnet-style cap works nearby. A man in a white shirt with a lanyard and rudraksha necklace stands at the left edge beside a table. Behind them, people in white caps and aprons work at steel vessels, and a few other men in white dhotis stand around the open tent area. The saffron-robed man has long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala, which are cues that may match the a person description, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity from this image alone.2012-01-04January 03 20122012-01-03
