A photograph of a life-size figure of a smiling, orange-robed religious figure with an orange turban and red tilak, draped in thick white jasmine garlands and red and orange flower garlands, with gold ornaments at the neck. The figure's right hand is raised in a blessing gesture and the statue is set on a white cloth strewn with marigold petals and flowers. Behind it, a man in a white shirt and grey trousers holds a long black pole, and people in white clothing stand near a table with flower decorations under palm fronds. The figure appears to be a statue or effigy rather than a living person.
