A street photograph in a town road with parked scooters and motorcycles and shopfronts behind. In the foreground, a large life-size cutout or printed board of a smiling saffron-clad figure wearing an orange turban, rudraksha mala beads, layered garlands and gold bangles, raising one hand in blessing. Standing behind it, a bare-chested young man in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and a face mask holds the cutout's shoulder. A bystander rides a motorcycle in the background. The lower right corner carries a timestamp reading Dec 28, 2021 12:58:11 PM and an annadhanam caption. Because the figure is a printed cutout, it is a depiction, not a person physically present.
