A photograph outside a red brick building with a sign reading Sri Anandeshwara Devasthana, on a dusty ground with palm trees behind. A woman in a white blouse and orange skirt with a green sash bends forward to offer a brass vessel with a green sprig to a man in long dark hair, a headband, a gold necklace of ornaments and orange robes. He stands at the open door of a silver vehicle with a flower garland on its rear window. Behind them, a man in orange robes and beaded necklaces, and other people in white dhotis with gold borders, stand with hands joined in greeting. A man in white dhoti with gold border and bare torso at left folds his palms. The man in orange robes with long hair appears as a probable Swamiji, identified by long swept hair, a headband and ceremonial gold necklaces, and is in person at the vehicle.
