Outdoor photo at a temple entrance with teal-painted columns and a barred gate behind. A man in an orange shawl and ochre clothing, with a tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala, carries a large garland of marigolds and red flowers. Beside him a man in a white shirt with a pendant necklace gestures toward a silver car. Other men in white dhotis and shirts and a woman in a red sari stand nearby. The person in orange has distinctive long swept-back hair and ceremonial orange-and-gold attire, so an appearance-based label applies: a person, in person, carried garlanded through the crowd.
