Night-time photo of a seated man in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long dark hair sitting cross-legged on a white concrete platform, smiling. Around him, a seated group of devotees in orange and white clothing face him, including a woman in white with an orange shawl and a long braid, and an older man in white on the left. The candidate's appearance has several cues (long hair, saffron robe) and the page indicates a person was present, but the face and features are not clearly verifiable, so the seated figure is described as a person.
