A photograph of a long covered walkway lined with metal railings and strings of yellow and white paper garlands overhead. Devotees on both sides, mostly in white clothes, stand with palms pressed together in anjali mudra as they greet a central figure. A woman in a flowing red-orange sari walks down the middle, and a man in a white dhoti and white shirt stands near her, with another person in white robes behind. The setting appears to be a temporary hall with a corrugated metal roof, consistent with a programme welcome line.
