A smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi walks through a temple corridor, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a long garland of white jasmine and pink and red flowers, with a gold ceremonial necklace over it. Behind him a bald older man with a white beard in orange robes walks alongside. On the left, a carved gold-painted pillar and a rope-bound wooden beam; overhead, strings of red, purple and white flower garlands. Workers in orange shirts and a man in white shirt appear in the background, with piled sand on the floor. A light-green cloth hangs on the wall. Appearance-based cues (long swept hair, saffron robe, ornate gold necklace and garland) are consistent with a person as the central figure, though this is an appearance-based label only.
