A photograph of a corridor in a yellow-walled building decorated with yellow and pink flower garlands and green leaf festoons over an archway. A figure with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a large gold pendant on a flower garland and rudraksha-style beads, walks forward smiling, with a shaved-headed attendant in orange garments beside him. Devotees in white dhotis and orange shawls line the stairs and walkway, and a line of onlookers in shirts and dhotis watches, including a small child in a green shirt. Flower petals are scattered on the grey tiled floor.
