Indoor photo of a welcome ceremony. A seated man with long dark hair, wearing a red-pink flower garland with gold necklaces and a reddish-brown shawl, smiles toward an older bearded man in orange robes who holds a brass tray of white flowers and petals, bending forward to offer them. Behind them, several saffron-robed monks and a man in white stand watching in a pillared room. The shaved-headed monk in orange holds the tray area; the robed figures are sannyasi and devotees. The seated garlanded man is a person by appearance cues: long hair, gold necklaces and a garland, but this is uncertain given the blur.
