A photograph of an outdoor scene beside a white car. A man with long dreadlocks and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead wears a rust-red robe and a pink and white flower garland, and is lifting one hand to his head. Beside him a man in orange robes and gold-trimmed clothing holds a silver tray with a gold-bordered orange cloth and a green leaf. A woman in orange stands in the background near a red wall, with palm trees and a billboard behind. The man with dreadlocks does not clearly match a person appearance, so the candidate is uncertain.
