A saffron-robed figure in an orange-red turban stands under a bright orange umbrella held by an unseen attendant, while a man in a white shirt and a rudraksha mala drapes a thick garland of white and red flowers around his neck. Beside them a woman in a gold-bordered sari and a white blouse holds a brass vessel on a plate, and a man in a white shirt and rudraksha mala holds a tray of flowers. Several people crowd around in white and cream clothing, with a whitewashed building and a pink multi-storey building behind them, all under sunlight. Swamiji (probable): the saffron-robed figure wears a red-orange turban and a plain saffron robe and receives the garland as part of a padapuja welcome at a home visit.
