Outdoor photo at dusk of a welcome at a car door. A smiling man in a saffron-orange robe and orange turban, with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, steps out of a silver car. A man in white ritual clothes on the left holds the open door. On the right, a bald man in white garments drapes a garland of white flowers with red roses and a yellow bloom, while a woman in a white sari stands beside him. A red carpet runs across the dirt ground, with a tall black speaker and palm trees behind. Whether the saffron-robed man is a person is unclear from appearance alone, so he is described by role only.
