Outdoor photo of a crowd gathered in a village street before a raised open-sided canopy hung with orange and red fabric and a hanging decorative ornament. A man with long dark hair wearing an orange robe and a white-and-orange wrap sits on a white-draped seat, with hands folded in greeting and garlands of white and red flowers around his neck and shoulders. Beside him stands a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a pendant necklace, leaning in toward him. A second standing figure in orange robes with a wristwatch stands at the right edge. Potted shrubs with silvery-green leaves sit in the foreground, and a banner with a portrait of a smiling man in a turban hangs at the upper right. Many onlookers, mostly women and children in saris and everyday clothes, fill the foreground and street, with two-storey buildings and orange flags behind them.
