A photograph of a smiling man in a rust-orange and gold dhoti-style garment stepping out beside a white car, wearing a long red and white flower garland, a gold ornate necklace with rudraksha beads, gold armlets and a white tilak on his forehead. Several men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas stand around him. A man in white clothes and an orange shawl holds a brass plate with a kalasha-style pot topped with a coconut and flowers, and a devotee in white bends forward to greet him with folded hands. The setting is a courtyard with yellow walls and palms. The man at the centre has long swept-back hair and ornate gold adornments, which is a probable appearance-based match for a person being received with pada puja honours; the printed caption on the image is copyright only.
