Night-time street scene outside a vehicle with an open grey side door. A man with long swept-back dark hair, bare-shouldered in orange-saffron cloth, smiles while a garland of white and yellow flowers is placed around his neck. Several devotees in white dhotis and shirts and orange robes stand close, one in white bending forward to offer a garland. A red and gold fringed umbrella, and a tree with street lights, frame the scene. Behind, more people gather and vehicles are parked along the road.
