A photograph of a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes standing before a floral-decorated arch of white, yellow and red garlands. The figure, who wears a red bindi and a garland of white and red flowers, smiles while a woman in a white sari with gold border reaches toward them and a man in white shirt and dhoti places a hand on the orange cloth. Two other men in white and an ochre-clad man stand at the edges. A blue bucket sits at lower left. The setting suggests a welcoming or pada puja ceremony during Guru Purnima celebrations.
