A photograph of a dusty village lane beside a pale temple-style building with a plaster facade and a sign reading 1996 above its arches. A figure with long dark swept-back hair wears a saffron-orange robe and walks forward; a person candidate, the central figure in saffron with long hair, appearance-based and uncertain. Beside him a man in a white shirt and white dhoti carries a bag, and another man in white with a white towel over his shoulder walks with an orange shawl. Several other men in white shirts and dhotis stand near the doorway. A green bicycle leans against a wall, a motorcycle with registration TN 49 T 6520 is parked, and a fresh mound of earth and bricks lies in the foreground. Coconut palms and a thatched roof appear behind.

Heaps of sand, a pile of gray stone and a half-built tin-roofed concrete building with metal grills stand behind them, with coconut palms overhead.
