A photograph of a decorated passageway with a striped green, white and orange canopy and red curtains, where a group walks along a terracotta tiled floor. At centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe wears a large pink and white flower garland and a gold necklace, walking barefoot with palms pressed together in greeting; the figure's appearance is consistent with the candidate, but the cues are not distinctive enough for a firm match.

Shoes are scattered at the left edge.
