A bearded man with long swept-back hair, white tilak on his forehead, a rust-orange shawl and a heavy gold ornate necklace stands at the car door, looking downward. A woman in a pale green sari sits in the rear window. On the right, a man in a white dhoti with orange border holds a small floral arrangement and a yellow kalasha-like vessel topped with pink flowers. A camera operator on the left films the scene, and a pink flower garland lies on the ground.
