Outdoors on a paved driveway beside a white compound wall and metal gate, a figure in a sleeveless orange robe with long dark hair stands beside a silver SUV, facing a group receiving them. Several people in white clothes gather: a man in white shirt and dhoti with palms pressed together in greeting, a man in a white shirt and cream trousers holding a bundle of pink flowers, and a woman in a white sari with blue border holding a brass kalasha topped with a mango-leaf and yellow flower arrangement. Palm trees and flowering shrubs stand behind, with strings of colourful decorations overhead.
