The figure on the right wears a saffron wrap over one shoulder and has a vertical mark on the forehead; the figure on the left, also in orange, holds something in their hands. Behind them a silver SUV with an orange flag on its bonnet is parked, and a red-and-white painted plinth sits to the right. A signboard and a stone sculpture appear in the background, along with a few trees and a small plant.

A photograph of an outdoor courtyard with paved tiles and palm trees, with a silver minivan parked behind. Two people in orange saffron robes walk across the paved path; the nearer one wears a loose orange garment and the other wears an orange sari-like wrap with a beaded orange-and-white garland. Behind them, a white-and-red striped stone plinth sits at right beside a row of carved stone sculptures. Two large banners hang on poles, one green-and-white map-style, the other showing portrait images. Strings of small orange flags are strung across the area.
