A photograph of three men at a garlanded stage. In the centre stands a smiling man in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban, wearing a long white flower garland. On the left, an older man with grey hair and a white-and-blue striped shirt presses his palms together in greeting. On the right, a man in a maroon jacket bows his head as a bowed garland of yellow marigolds and green-and-pink wrapped flowers is placed on him. Behind them is a blue and red ornate arch hung with yellow marigold strands and a red-and-gold Om emblem. The central figure in saffron and turban has distinctive orange clothing but the appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm identity; treat as an uncertain candidate.
