A photograph of an outdoor street arrival at a devotee home. A man in a saffron-orange robe, with long swept-back hair, wears a long garland of white jasmine, purple and red flowers and a gold-bead necklace, and smiles while a woman in a white sari with jasmine in her hair performs a welcome, holding a brass plate with a coconut, flowers and a kalasha-style vessel. Two children are visible at the lower left, and a grey minivan is parked behind them beside a large banner showing a smiling man in orange. The arrival is a probable Swamiji (probable) appearance, based on the long swept-back hair, saffron robe, ornate gold necklace and garland, and he is greeted in person as an honoured guest.
