Outdoor photo on a dirt ground beside stacked black Reno water tanks and a tree. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe with a long white and red flower garland and a dark red-brown bare-foot stance stands with head bowed; his long hair is swept back and his appearance is consistent with the a person candidate but uncertain.

Around them stand a woman in a red sari, men in white dhotis with orange shawls, and a man in a plaid shirt, all barefoot or standing, watching.
