A photograph of a welcome procession outside a modern white-and-glass building with palm trees. At centre, a man in a red-orange turban and draped red-saffron cloth wears a large garland of white and pink flowers and a red-orange floral garland, walking barefoot on a paved walkway. Around him, saffron-robed sannyasis with shaved heads and rudraksha malas walk alongside men in white dhotis and shirts. On the right, a drummer in white with an orange cloth carries a large drum. Whether the garlanded central man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so he is described by role as a garlanded guest of honour.
