A photograph of an outdoor event at a temple-style entrance decorated with mango leaves and hanging yellow and green ornaments. A smiling man with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe and a gold-bead garland, sits in an orange chair at the centre. Around him, men in white shirts and yellow or orange shawls stand, one holding a camera. A woman in a white sari stands in the background. Several devotees in white and a seated older man in white press close, a man in white placing his hand on the seated figure's shoulder. A hibiscus-decorated woman with a flower-adorned braid is in the foreground. The seated figure appears to be a person with long swept-back hair, orange robe and gold garland, so this is an appearance-based candidate only.
