A photo of a figure in an orange-saffron robe and matching orange turban walking through an ornate red wooden doorway with gold circular medallions, a white flower garland with red and white flowers draped over his shoulders and a rudraksha mala at his chest. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts walk in procession; one at right carries a silver tray, and another at left in white gestures toward flower garlands and marigold strings laid on the floor. Beyond the doorway, a shed is decorated with marigold festoons and blue drapery hangs by a window. A red carpet runs across the floor. The figure in orange has a distinctive turban, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the candidate is recorded as unsure.
