Outdoors on sandy ground beside palm trees and a thatched hut, a man in long orange robes with long dark hair stands with his back to the camera, placing a white and red flower garland around the neck of another man in orange robes who has short dark hair. The garland is white jasmine with red flowers. Behind them a second orange-robed person holds a tall pole with a yellow and orange banner. Several people in white clothes stand nearby, and a silver car is parked in the background. At right, a brass vessel decorated with flowers and an orange-and-gold cloth is visible. The scene suggests a welcome garlanding.
