A smiling figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban stands in a doorway of a pale blue room, barefoot, with long dark hair and a dark beaded rudraksha mala around the neck. Marigold garlands frame the open red-painted door. Behind, several people in white and orange clothing gather, with a man holding a camera, and a colourful decorated cart with red and pink canopy and tassels is visible outdoors among palm trees. The figure shows strong appearance cues consistent with a person, shown entering the room as a guest of honour.2010-02-18A photograph of a doorway being opened at a ceremony. A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, stands in the open doorway holding a pair of scissors and smiling, with an orange ribbon stretched across the frame. Beside him a second man in orange robes stands with his hands pressed together. Both are framed by marigold garlands hanging along the door. Behind them a crowd gathers under a red and blue umbrella with fringed edges, with palm trees in the background.

He wears a long rudraksha mala and a smile. Behind him, a second person in orange clothing stands with hands together, and a crowd of onlookers gathers under a red, blue and yellow canopy with tassels and palm trees beyond. The red door is open to a pale blue wall with a switch panel. Appearance-based cues are a turban, rudraksha mala and saffron robes; the page does not confirm his identity, so the candidate is unsure. Two people are visible clearly, with a larger crowd behind them.2010-02-18A photograph of a bare-walled white interior room with a pale marble floor, a small wooden stool holding a white item, and white curtains beside a tall wooden door. A man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe and a large pink-and-white garland around his neck, stands barefoot in the open doorway, smiling. Another man in white clothing stands partly behind him in the doorway.

Green leaves are visible through the outer doorway.2010-02-17July 28 20082008-07-28A photograph of a doorway decorated with a garland of marigolds and pink and white flowers across the top.
