A photograph of an outdoor dirt lane beside a yellow building and a white van with registration AP03 E 9085. In the centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban, wearing a long wooden rudraksha mala, walks forward with his head lowered. Beside him a bearded man in white kurta and dhoti, with a shoulder bag, walks alongside. Several men stand around in pale shirts and trousers, one with arms folded, another gesturing with an open hand. Sandals lie on the ground near the van. The page describes the event as a Pada Puja in Bengaluru, but the appearance of the orange-robed figure is not clearly enough established to name him, so he is described by role and appearance only.
