A photograph outdoors beside a dark grey car with its door open. A woman in an orange-red sari with gold border applies a mark to the forehead of a man in an orange robe with a black turban, who stands with a long red and white flower garland around his neck and a gold-bordered orange shawl. Behind them, men in orange clothing play drums and a large silver pot with a green leaf and yellow flowers sits on a tray held by a person at left. Palm trees and a sunny sky fill the background. The man in the turban has long swept-back hair and a distinctive orange garb cue, so he is a person receiving a welcome with garlands and drumming during the event.
