Outdoor photograph beside a dark grey car with polka-dot panels. A man in a rust-red turban and rust-red shawl over a yellow-striped waistcloth stands smiling, lifting a large red and yellow marigold garland over his head with both hands; rudraksha beads hang on his chest. To the right, two young male attendants in saffron-orange dhotis and rudraksha malas hold a glass kalasha vessel decorated with green leaves and white flowers on a tray, while a third attendant at the bottom edge holds a silver plate. The ground is dirt with trees and a red-roofed building behind. Whether the garlanded man is a candidate for a person is uncertain: the cues are turban, shawl and beads, but the face is not distinctive and the setting is an ordinary outdoor reception.
