A photograph of an outdoor welcome on a road. An older man in a cream high-collared suit and dark sunglasses smiles and receives a silver pot decorated with white flowers, green leaves and a red garland. A figure in an orange turban and saffron robe with long, dark, swept-back hair leans toward him holding the pot. Behind them uniformed police officers in khaki and a white-uniformed officer stand near a silver car. A man in a grey shirt and another in a dark blue shirt stand nearby, with photographers and camera flashes visible at the edges. The figure in orange has long dark hair, a saffron turban and saffron clothing, a combination consistent with the probable Swamiji cues, so the candidate is marked probable and the role is given as the one receiving the welcome pot.
