In the centre, a long-haired man in an orange-saffron dhoti and matching shawl wears a heavy garland of yellow and orange marigolds and stands barefoot with hands pressed together at his face in greeting. Beside him, a bearded man in an orange shawl and white garments stands with hands folded. Around them, men in white dhotis and white shirts stand at attention, one in a grey shirt holding a mobile phone. On the left, a bald older man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands with hands joined. Behind them, a red-and-green painted wall, parked cars and a black roadside board with Tamil text and a yellow railing. Several people are visible, about six to eight. The scene suggests a reception or procession on a road.
