A photograph of a doorway entrance in an interior hallway with a wooden door and tiled floor. A smiling man with swept-back long dark hair wears a saffron-orange sleeveless garment and a long yellow and red marigold garland, walking forward through the doorway. Behind him, a second man in saffron-orange robes walks with his hand raised in greeting. To the right, a man in white dhoti and shirt with a red-orange shawl stands at the door, and a man in a white-collared shirt stands on the left edge facing away. The smiling figure in the center has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, with a garland, consistent with a person appearance cue, so this is an in-person candidate with uncertain identity.
