A photo of an open courtyard at a red-and-cream multi-storey building with grilled balconies. A figure in a saffron-orange robe stands on a stepped platform near a small concrete basin, facing a group. Around them, men in white dhoti and shirt stand and listen, along with several women in red and pink saris and a man in a yellow shirt. Scattered sandals lie near the steps and a small fire or ash pile sits on the ground. A young plant grows at the right edge. The saffron-robed figure is an appearance-based candidate standing in an orange robe, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so a person is unsure.
