A photograph of a dirt path lined with trimmed green shrubs and red flowering plants, with a whitewashed building and palm trees behind. A figure in a long orange-saffron robe with long dark hair and a beaded necklace walks toward the camera with hands pressed together in greeting. On the right, women in white saris with orange shawls stand holding brass plates of marigold and white flowers, and an orange-and-red fringed canopy hangs overhead. On the left, a cameraman in white clothing films with a video camera. The scene feels like a ceremonial welcome procession at an ashram.
