Outdoor photo beneath a multicolored canopy at a rocky hillside. A man in saffron-orange robes with an orange head wrap and a long flower garland of yellow, red and white blossoms stands beside a large boulder covered with a long garland of marigolds and white flowers, with a red mark on the rock. He is smiling and bowing with hands near his chest. Behind him, several people in white and orange clothing stand with hands folded in reverence, and a man in white robes with an orange shawl stands at right. Palm fronds and green trees surround the scene. The appearance-based candidate is a man in saffron robes with an orange head wrap and long hair, honouring a rock shrine; the printed page identifies this as a person, so a person is unsure.
