A photograph of three people posed against a plain white wall on a light floor. At centre, a figure with long dark hair and a white sacred mark on the forehead sits on a white cushioned seat, wearing a saffron-orange robe and a long garland of pink flower buds, with one hand raised in blessing. On the left, a bespectacled man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands with palms pressed together in namaste. On the right, a woman in a white sari with gold border and a red bindi stands with her hands folded. The centre figure shows distinctive saffron robe, long swept hair and pink garland cues, so the appearance-based label applies: a person, seated in person.
