A photograph of a devotee receiving a garland at a temple setting. A man in a white dhoti and brown shawl is being draped with thick white jasmine garlands mixed with red, orange and purple flowers and a gold-tipped horn-like ornament. Facing him, a figure in orange saffron robes with bare arms and white markings on the upper arm bows with hands joined in namaskar. Behind them stand an older man with a grey beard and a shaved-headed attendant in orange. Women in yellow shawls watch from the left, and a sign on the orange wall reads Silence please. The scene suggests a darshan greeting.
