Two ornate multicoloured umbrellas with tasselled edges and gold finials are held above a group of about ten people in white ritual dress with orange shawls, some carrying trays and bags. In the centre, a bare-headed man in orange robes with long hair stands beside a sand mound. On the right, a bald, smiling figure in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands on the sand, cues consistent with a sannyasi; the a person label applies only to this figure's distinctive orange-robed, mala-adorned presentation, with his identity not otherwise established. Parked silver cars and a shed are in the background.2007-02-02 +1 copiesAugust 09 20072007-08-09Outdoor photograph at a temple-like courtyard with a large dark stone Nandi bull statue garlanded with a floral necklace, seated on a white plinth.
