A photograph of an outdoor camp scene with a group of men in white dhotis and kurtas and several men in saffron or yellow turbans and robes standing around a low table covered with a red-and-gold cloth holding plates of food. A blindfolded young child in white with a rudraksha-style red cord sits on the ground, and two women sit in front, one in an orange top and one in a white sari with red shawls, while a standing man in a white shirt and dark trousers holds a paper and gestures toward the child. A bare-chested bearded man stands in the background among the crowd, and a tarpaulin shelter and motorcycles appear behind them. No candidate is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so the figures are described by role only.2015-09-16September 18 20152015-09-18 +1 copiesSeptember 18 20152015-09-18 +1 copiesSeptember 18 20152015-09-18 +1 copiesA photo of an outdoor camp under a blue tarpaulin where a group of sadhus and devotees stands around a seated man wearing a white blindfold and a red-and-white shawl, who holds a folded paper.
