A doorway opening ceremony at a white building. A long-haired figure in orange robes, wearing a white and green flower garland and gold necklace, raises a hand in greeting while standing in the doorway. A yellow ribbon is stretched across the entrance. An older man in white dhoti and shirt, wearing sunglasses, holds a white plate of flowers and offerings near the threshold. Behind them a crowd of men in white stands outside, with a green leafy arch above the door and a colourful canopy visible through a window.
