A photograph, rotated sideways, of a man in a white dhoti and long white garment with gold-bordered edges, a white turban, and long dark hair, standing barefoot on a blue stage with one arm raised high while scattered petals lie on the floor. Behind him, a long row of seated men in white dhotis and white shirts with garlands and lanyards sit along the stage edge, many with hands together in greeting. Overhead lights and a white-draped stage backdrop with red floral garlands are visible. The figure's appearance is a probable match for the a person candidate, cued by the turban, long hair and gold-bordered white robe, though the image is sideways and partly unclear.
