Outdoor photo beside a dark SUV with its driver door open. A long-haired man in orange-red robes with a saffron shawl and a gold-beaded mala stands at the open door with a white tripundra on his forehead. Beside him a younger monk with a shaved head, white forehead marks, a dark rudraksha mala and orange robes holds a brass plate with a kalasha-style pot wrapped in white netting and decorated with leaves and flowers. A palm-lined street and a red-brick building form the background, and a hand rests on the car door at left. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired man in orange-red robes, shawl and gold-beaded mala is the presumed Swamiji, shown being greeted with a ceremonial kalasha.
