Outdoors at an airport forecourt in bright daylight, a crowd presses around a central figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders and a red-marked forehead, smiling and raising one hand in greeting. Beside him a bald monk in saffron and orange wraps holds a tall wooden staff. In the foreground a man in white kurta with spectacles is gesturing, and a man in white bends low in front of the central figure. Behind them devotees in white, a child in a pink and yellow dress, and men in turbans and white garments stand near parked cars and a taxi-service signboard.
