Beside them a woman in white smiles, and in the background men in white dhotis and kurtas stand near a projection screen. A person in orange with a swept-back dark hairstyle, rudraksha mala and ornate bracelets appears to be the figure in the saffron robe; the presentation cues are distinctive, so this is a person appearance, present in person. Several people are visible.
