A photograph taken indoors in a bright lobby with glass doors and an exit sign, showing a welcoming procession. In the centre, a man with long dark swept-back hair and a white robe with gold-edged shawl walks barefoot with palms pressed together in namaste; he has a person appearance with long swept-back hair and white ceremonial clothing, held in a role of honoured guest. Beside him, a man in a red-orange dhoti and shawl, bare-chested with a white tilak on his forehead, carries a silver puja vessel with a coconut and mango leaves on a silver tray. Behind them, two men in light shirts stand with palms together, and on the left an elderly woman with glasses in a dark patterned top also has her hands folded. A wall notice board and a grey carpet are visible.
