On the left, a man in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap leans forward, smiling, with his hands raised in conversation; a laptop sits on the table in front of him, with a name placard reading a Tamil name beside it. In the centre, a smiling man in a white shirt and white trousers wears dark sunglasses and a wristwatch, arms crossed. On the right, a smiling man with curly dark hair and glasses wears a red polo shirt and khaki trousers. White lilies and a sprig of flowers are in the foreground. The left figure's distinctive saffron robe, head wrap and sweptback hair make him a person candidate seen in person, though his face and appearance are not certain enough to confirm identity.
