A photograph of an airport arrivals hall where a man in a rust-orange turban and saffron-and-orange robes with a pink flower garland stands smiling while a man in a white shirt bends forward to place a floral garland around him. A crowd behind a barrier films and photographs with phones, and women in red and pink saris watch. Two shaved-headed attendants in orange robes with rudraksha malas stand to the right, one with a sandalwood tilak on his forehead. Rose petals are scattered on the floor. The orange-robed figure in the centre has a turban, floral garlands and a gold-toned ornate necklace; his appearance is consistent with the page's a person label, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
