A photograph at a forest waterfall with a tall cascade on the left and lush green trees around a rocky pool. In the centre, a man with long dark hair stands on a rock wearing a rust-orange dhoti and a gold-coloured cloth, with a heavy yellow-gold necklace and beaded garland; he has his hands joined near his chest and is smiling. Behind him stand several people in orange and saffron clothing, and a person in white holds a camera. Devotees in orange and white crowd the water's edge with raised hands, and a woman in black stands in the foreground. Flower petals fall in the air and a small ritual setup with flowers and a bowl sits on the rock. Appearance-based candidate: a person, identifiable by long swept hair, saffron-orange clothing and gold and bead adornments.
