A photograph of a programme hall with a blue carpet strewn with flower petals. A man in white robes with a gold-bordered shawl and a white head wrap walks barefoot across the centre, wearing a long multicolour garland. Behind him, devotees in white clothing stand and bow, some with hands folded, and a woman in an orange sari bends forward beside a decorated golden stage with orange drapes, marigold and floral arches, and a white elephant-shaped figure. A large standing fan sits on the floor. The man shows appearance-based cues of the a person (long swept hair, white head wrap, gold-bordered shawl and garland), so this is a probable in-person candidate; he is walking among devotees who are bowing and clapping.
