A photograph of a joyful outdoor procession on a dirt ground in front of an orange brick building. A crowd of devotees in white kurtas and dhotis with yellow and orange shawls raise their arms and dance. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and a beaded necklace, and smiles while dancing; he matches the orange-robed, long-haired appearance of the presentation cues, so this is a person candidate. Nearby, a cameraman films with a handheld camera on a tripod. An orange flag is held aloft in the background.
