Night photo outside, beneath a large tree, showing a white STD/ISDPCO telephone booth with a blue and yellow sign. A man with long dark hair, a red bindi and a white kurta holds a bouquet of pale blue-green flowers and smiles toward the crowd. Behind him, a man in a white shirt raises one arm in greeting, and devotees in saris and white clothes press close. At right, a shaven-headed man in a saffron-orange robe, with a white cloth over one shoulder, stands beside the booth. The long-haired man in white shows only a hair and bindi cue, with no distinctive saffron or crown, so identity is uncertain.
