A crowd presses around a central scene outdoors near a green-painted building. A man with long dark hair and a red and yellow garland, bare-chested in saffron-orange cloth, is being garlanded by a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who reaches over his head. Saffron-robed monastic men with shaved heads, sandalwood and vibhuti marks and beaded malas stand near; on the right a man in white with a rudraksha mala holds up his hands. Many onlookers in white, cream and bright saree colours, some women with flowers in their hair, watch from behind. A wooden pole rises in the background.

A shelf with framed pictures and a deity murti is visible behind them, and an orange-robed man with a tilak stands near the doorway.

Several men in white and yellow shirts and a woman with flowers in her hair crouch or stand around, with a large orange cushion in the foreground. The setting is a plain room with pale yellow walls and windows. Visible text in the corner reads a copyright notice. This appears to be a house visit during a Tamil Nadu tour, with the seated figure possibly a person, identifiable by long swept-back hair and rust-red robes.2014-06-24Outdoor photograph in bright daylight under trees beside a white wall.
