A photograph of a painted blue tour bus with cartoon-style cattle, antelope and palm trees on its side, its door open. A man in orange robes stands in the bus doorway. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands beside a woman in a white saree with a small pattern, who is greeting the figure in orange with palms pressed together. The figure in orange wears a saffron cloth, a beaded necklace of rudraksha and bare feet, and has long dark hair; this appearance is consistent with the a person candidate, though the figure is partly obscured and the identification is uncertain. A man at the far right claps his hands. The setting is a paved roadside.
