A black SUV with its driver-side door open sits under a covered entrance. Inside the rear seat, a person in red and gold ceremonial clothing with gold necklaces and bangles leans forward toward the window. To the right, a shaved-headed attendant in an orange saffron robe with red waistband stands beside a pillar, holding a silver tray with a brass vessel, a yellow fruit and green leaves. A red brick wall and sandy ground lie behind, and the setting appears to be an ashram entrance.

Outside stands a devotee in white dhoti and shawl with gold borders, bare-chested, holding a brass kalasha topped with mango leaves and a yellow flower, wrapped in white cloth, offered at the car window, a welcome ritual. The car's door panel carries a dotted stripe and the words 'SPEED AUTOMATIC'.2013-03-13A photograph at an outdoor covered entrance beside a black SUV whose open driver door is at left.
