A photograph of a courtyard walkway with a garden behind it. In the centre, a figure in an orange saffron robe and a yellow-and-white marigold garland stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, slightly lowered head. Beside them, a second person in orange robes walks barefoot with hands folded. Around them, people in white dhotis and shirts and women in sarees, one in a red blouse and beige saree, stand and greet, some with hands folded. A man in a white shirt in the foreground walks past. Plastic chairs and green plants line the garden. The orange-robed figure in the centre has distinctive long hair and a garland, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role only.
