On the left, men and women in white dhotis and saris with gold borders hold red, orange and pink umbrellas with embroidered fringes. On the right, a row of people in white garments stands beside large orange and red parasols. A dark car travels slowly down the centre of the road toward a red-walled compound, with palm trees and a scaffold visible at the side. The arrangement suggests a formal welcome procession.
