A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe with a long gold bead necklace stepping out of a bus's open door onto a roadside. He has long dark hair and smiles as he gestures with his hands toward two people in white. The bus is painted with a blue sky, palm trees, a leaping deer and cattle on a green field. A white-clad man with a shaved head stands at right with his hands together, and a woman in a light sari at centre looks down. Appearance cues (long hair, saffron robe, gold ornate necklace) are compatible with a Swamiji (probable) candidate stepping from a vehicle, so the candidate is in person.
