A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands near a large blue barrel, his back to the camera, with several orange, blue and red plastic buckets on the ground in front of him. A line of people in mostly white clothing, plus a woman in a purple top and a man in a blue shirt, stand watching along the right side, while small children in colourful dresses stand at the left edge. Two women in orange and blue salwar outfits stand at the far right. The figure in white is an ordinary devotee or volunteer; his appearance does not establish any identity, so no candidate is identified.
