They wear a red-orange sleeveless wrap with gold ornaments and rudraksha beads. Behind them, saffron-robed devotees blow long brass horns and stand near the vehicle. Another person in white stands at the far side of the car, and a man in a white turban is at the left edge, looking down. The setting is an outdoor roadside with trees and a low red wall. The garland and welcoming horns suggest a formal arrival reception.
