Behind them hang colourful garlands and decorative ornamental strands against a pale wall, and a red and gold fabric edge appears at the far left.

The man in saffron is an in-person candidate whose appearance shows several cues, including long hair, saffron turban and shawl, but identity remains uncertain.
