At centre, a figure in an orange-saffron robe and matching orange head wrap smiles, wearing a white and red flower garland and several beaded rudraksha-style malas. Around them, men in white dhotis and white shirts, some with orange shoulder cloths, stand close and clap or gesture; one holds a long wooden stick at left. Some people carry white and blue flags in the background. The figure has a distinctive saffron ascetic presentation, with several visible cues including the orange head wrap and beaded malas, so this is a person candidate in the crowd, though a face-based identification is not made. Ground is dark asphalt.
