In the centre, a figure in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair receives a large garland of white and red flowers from a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, who stands with his back to the camera.

A yellow bus and orange flags on poles appear in the background, with a colourful canopy at the upper right.2009-07-30A photograph of a procession on a dirt path beside a chain-link fence, with orange flags visible behind.
