Beside him a woman in a rust-red sari with a matching headwrap stands gazing forward, with a dark beaded necklace. On the left a bare-chested young man in orange cloth holds a tall yellow pole. Behind them a camera on a tripod and a second cameraperson are visible, and a red-and-blue flag with gold trim and a bird emblem hangs at right. Partial figures in orange and white stand in the background. The man in the centre is not clearly identifiable by appearance alone, so no identification is made.
