Photo of a smiling man in rust-orange robes standing at centre, waving with his right hand, wearing a long red-and-white garland of flowers, layered gold ceremonial necklaces with a pendant, gold armbands and bangles, and a white vibhuti marking with a red dot on the forehead. Beside him on the left a man in a blue graphic T-shirt and jeans stands facing the camera, and another man in a blue shirt stands behind them. Scaffolding and a plain wall form the backdrop. Whether the central figure is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone with confidence.
