A photograph of a smiling person in a white turban with gold trim, wearing a white garment and a white garland with red flowers, holding up a printed brochure toward a man in white shirt with grey beard who holds a brass pot. The brochure shows a saffron-robed figure and is titled Nithyanandi Spurana. Behind them, a crowd of people in white clothes, several clapping and smiling, stands before a pink and red floral garland hanging on the right and a lattice wall. The white-turbaned person has long dark hair; they could be the appearance-based candidate for a person, though the face and presentation are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
