A small white pickup truck with an orange banner on its side is parked at left, and a cluster of about eight people in white and mixed clothing stands near the truck and a small shrine. At right is an ornate stone temple gopuram-style entrance with carved figures on its roof and a doorway, with thatched huts and a tin-roofed shed behind. No individual's appearance supports an identification, so no candidate is marked.
