Beside him, a monk in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and tilak stands closely. On the left, a man in a white shirt folds his hands in namaste toward him. Behind them, a crowd of devotees in white and light clothing fills a bright hall with a red curtain. +2 copiesJanuary 12 20072007-01-12January 12 20072007-01-12
