A photograph of a silver minivan at a roadside, its side door open, with a person in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap seated in the doorway, smiling. Crowd of devotees surrounds the vehicle: a man in a white shirt and white dhoti at left, a girl in a pink dress with a long braid, a boy in a checked shirt, a woman in a yellow top at right, and an older man in the foreground. A yellow and red sign with Tamil script stands behind, with trees and a passing white van. The saffron-clad person has long dark hair and a rudraksha-style mala visible at the neck, but the figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
