A photograph of a street-level arrival at a building entrance. A silver car has its side door open on the left, and a person in orange robes stands partly within the doorway, hand raised. In the foreground a man in white kurta and white dhoti kneels on the pavement, bowing low with his hands near the ground and a small orange cloth laid before him. Nearby, a woman in an orange sari stands with her palms together, and another woman in a mustard-yellow sari presses her hands in greeting. Behind them a man in a yellow shirt and dark trousers stands near a white-shirted man, and a young woman in a white sari with orange border holds her hands folded at the right edge. Palm trees, a large golden horse sculpture and a building sign appear in the background.
