Outdoors under bright sky and palm trees, a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a white flower garland and rudraksha-style necklaces raises one arm beside a tall ornate copper flag-pole wrapped in white cloth and decorated with yellow and multicolour marigold garlands. Flower petals and marigolds scatter on the platform. Beside him, a saffron-robed priest in maroon-edged orange cloth holds a plate, and two saffron-clad attendants stand with folded hands. A large red umbrella and a golden trident stand at right, and a red pennant flies at left. The long-haired robed man is a person candidate by appearance cues.
