Outdoor street scene in a town with pastel-painted shophouses, a red-tiled roof and parked cars. A smiling man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a red bindi, stands with a garland of white flowers, red roses and yellow marigolds draped around his neck. Beside him, a man in a white shirt bends forward with palms pressed together in greeting, a rudraksha-style mala around his neck. Other men in shirts and trousers walk along the street, and a saffron flag is visible on the left. The garlanded man has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing; his identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
