A photograph in a bright airport arrivals hall at night, with an arrivals sign in English and Kannada. A group in white dhotis and saffron-red robes walks toward the camera. A man in the centre wears a long white and multicolour flower garland and holds a bouquet, with rudraksha beads visible. Musicians lead the group: one plays a double-headed drum with a blue-striped membrane, another plays a nadaswaram-style wind instrument, a man in white plays a saxophone, and another beats a drum. A small child in pink walks at the right edge. A sign-free glass hall and an airport bench appear in the background.

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.2014-06-20 +1 copiesMay 05 20152015-05-05Night procession with musicians in white dhotis and shirts playing long wooden nadaswaram-style wind instruments with brass bells.
