A crowd gathers on a street in front of a temple entrance with a sign reading "Coconut Broken Place" overhead. A silver car stands behind the group. In the centre, a long-haired figure in orange ochre robes and a pink-and-white flower garland, with a red tilak on the forehead and a gold necklace, is being welcomed. A man in white and a bare-chested priest in a pink-bordered cloth hold a brass poornakumbha pot decorated with flowers and green leaves, with lemons and fruit on a plate. Other devotees in white shirts, saris and a red shirt press in around them, and a child is held up in the background.
