Indoor exhibition booth photographed at close range. In the foreground, a man in orange robes and an orange turban, with a floral garland draped over his shoulder, leans over a painted relief model of mountains, rivers and a coastline with small temple-like structures. Standing behind him, a woman in a blue patterned sari points at the model while a woman in a green sari, a man in a striped shirt and a young man in white look on. A younger woman in blue sits at the table. Behind them, printed posters show a portrait photograph garlanded with marigolds, group photos and a banner reading HOPE. The man in orange does not show clearly enough to be matched to any candidate, so his role is given as a devotee at the exhibit.

Indoor exhibition display at a Hindu spiritual service fair organisers' meeting. A man with long dark hair and a bright orange turban and orange robe stands at centre, facing a group of visitors and gesturing toward the exhibit; he is a candidate by appearance but the page does not place him at this event, so he is described by role as a sannyasi in orange robes. Beside him a woman in a green sari with gold border and a man in a maroon shirt look on, and a woman in a blue patterned sari points at a poster. Another person in orange stands at right beside a tall garland of white and pink flowers.
