Outdoor photograph of a welcoming arrangement at an event area with a red carpet laid on sand and paved ground. A tall decorative arch of woven palm leaves hangs with bunches of bananas, green coconuts and fibrous tassels, flanked by leafy banana stalks. Beneath it, a woman in a white sari with a red-bordered cloth walks along the red carpet toward a white-draped table holding a flower-decorated tray. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands nearby with his hands folded, and several women in white and cream saris watch. A man in a white kurta with an orange scarf films with a camera on the left. A silver van and potted plants stand behind, with a modern glass building on the right.

A man in the centre wears an orange robe and a bearded man in a white kurta and orange shawl stands nearby, while one man at right holds a bundle of red strings. A crowd of onlookers in salwar kameez and everyday clothes watches from behind, beside a small white building with a red-roofed canopy, a concrete wall and a parked silver SUV. The scene suggests a Diwali celebration with crackers at an ashram. The most distinctive figure cues are a bearded man in white with an orange shawl, which may correspond to a person, but appearance is not clearly distinctive enough for certainty.2008-10-27November 20 20062006-11-20Outdoor procession on a dirt path with a grassy hillside and mango trees behind.
