Night-time photo of a crowd pressing around a central figure in a red-maroon turban and maroon-red wrap, wearing layered white and red flower garlands and a rudraksha-style bead necklace, smiling with eyes closed as petals fall through the air. Around him, devotees raise hands; a man in a white shirt with a folded paper in hand stands in front, a woman in a patterned sari with gold jewellery is in the foreground, and a young man in a yellow shirt grins at right. Others with white forehead markings are behind, with a vehicle visible at left, consistent with a temple inauguration crowd. The central figure has distinctive turban, garland and bead cues matching the a person profile, so appearance-based label applies with a candidate present in person.
