A man in a white shirt and red-orange dhoti-style wrap, with a white and maroon flower garland around his neck, pulls a rope to unveil a large saffron-yellow satin cloth on a pole outside a building. A blue signboard with Tamil text stands behind him, and a black plaque with white Tamil lettering and a flower garland sits on a white-draped table below. Strings of small white decorations hang overhead under a partly cloudy sky. Whether this man is the a person candidate cannot be confirmed from appearance alone; a printed name is not visible on the scene itself.
