A photograph of a street scene beside a silver minivan with its side door open. A central figure with long dark hair, wearing a red-orange shawl and a red flower garland, has a large white flower crown with red blossoms placed on his head by a man in white kurta. Around him, men in white kurtas and rudraksha malas press in and gesture, some with hands raised in greeting. A man in an orange top stands at the left edge; a bearded man sits inside the van. Corrugated roofs, a yellow wall and a tree form the background. The crown and garland, long hair and red-orange clothing match the page's Swamiji candidate; the candidate is physically present in the scene, though identity is an appearance-based judgement.
