Outdoor photograph of a building facade labelled THE PENTAGON in large letters, with a covered entrance shelter in front. Three people stand on a paved forecourt: a bald man and a second robed figure in rust-red and orange dhotis with saffron shawls and red-orange rudraksha-style neck garlands, and a woman in a light yellow-gold outfit near parked motorcycles and scooters. A red chair sits under the shelter. A large red banner on the shelter shows a portrait of a saffron-robed figure with a printed caption naming a person and event dates. Hedges and a billboard with a portrait appear in the background.
