April 23 20162016-04-23Photograph at a crowded event booth with a canopy of crystal-drop garlands and pink, red and green fabric. In the foreground a bearded sadhu in orange robes and a rudraksha mala talks with a second figure in a saffron-brown turban and brown robes, wearing a long gold chain and a marigold garland with a brown shawl. The turban-wearing figure is a person candidate by distinctive appearance cues, though the identification is uncertain. Behind them, devotees stand near a panel of framed photographs and a printed portrait labelled with Kannada and Tamil script. Two men in glasses and a woman in a sari appear in the background, with a bright ornate banner at the right edge.2016-04-23Two men walk together through a crowded exhibition hall with red and pink display boards behind them.

Beside him, an older bearded man in orange robes with a long white beard and vibhuti marks holds a phone. Behind them, a man in a pink-and-white robe, a man in a checked shirt, and other attendants stand in a crowd.
