A smiling man with long dark hair, wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange wrap over his body, stands in a pale pink-walled room with a striped mat on the floor. He gestures with his open right hand. Behind him, a doorway framed with white and yellow flower garlands leads to another room where a person in white clothing stands. A wall calendar showing January 2010 hangs on the wall, and a small tray of flowers rests on the window ledge. The man appears to be a person by appearance, given his long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, though the identification is uncertain.
