A photograph of a narrow residential street lined with palm trees and multi-storey houses painted yellow, pink and blue. A man in a white shirt and white trousers, wearing a pendant necklace, walks down the centre of the road with his hands at his sides. On the right, a line of women in white saris holds bundles of flowers and brass pots of blossoms, facing him as they welcome him. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand along the left side and further up the road. Appearance alone gives only an uncertain candidate for the central figure, so the a person field is unsure. Approximately 20 people are visible in total.
