An outdoor welcome on a paved forecourt. A figure in a saffron-orange sannyasi robe, with long hair, stands at the centre beside a woman in a red sari with a pink flower in her hair, both facing a crowd of men and women in white ritual clothing. A woman in a white sari holds a brass plate of offerings. A man in a yellow-and-white shawl and white dhoti stands to the right, and a cameraman with a video camera films at left. Behind them is a corrugated roof, a large bronze-toned statue of an elephant, a tall framed portrait of a woman in red, and palm trees under a pale sky.
