A photograph of a street-side welcome beside a white car. A woman in an orange sari with a long white and multicoloured garland stands with hands folded in namaskar. Around her, a man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl bends forward, and a young man in orange robes kneels at the car door. Other devotees in white and saffron clothing and a woman in a yellow and pink sari stand nearby, several with hands joined, and a child sits on the ground in pink. Some hold small offerings and flowers. The scene is an outdoor devotional greeting on a dusty road in front of a building.
