An outdoor photograph in warm low sunlight of a crowd greeting a figure in an orange robe and matching orange turban, wearing a long garland of white and pink flowers. Beside him an attendant in orange robes reaches toward him, and a woman in orange in the foreground raises a hand to her head. Around them, men in white shirts and dhotis stand and bow or press palms together in greeting. A tall arched gateway and pine trees stand behind, with a white vehicle partly visible. The greeting appears to be a welcome on a road, with devotees gathered close to the robed figure.
