A photograph on a street outside a building with a black SUV parked beside it. A woman with short grey hair, wearing a white top and an orange-red shawl, lifts a long white flower garland over the head of a person in an orange-red and saffron wrapped garment with gold armlets and a rudraksha-style bead necklace. The garlanded person bows their head. Petals are scattered on the pavement, and a green hedge and a yellow wall are behind them. The person receiving the garland has long dark hair in a braid and a gold necklace, but the face cannot be confirmed, so their identity is uncertain. The event is a garland welcome at a house visit.

A photograph of an outdoor arrival under a covered concrete walkway. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti lifts a very large garland of pink roses and yellow marigolds high over a woman with a long dark ponytail, who wears an orange sari, a white flower garland and gold bangles and smiles broadly. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand around, and a man in white shirt and dark-rimmed glasses looks on. Two men in orange and saffron robes stand near a silver car with a roof rack, and one of them holds a folded yellow cloth. Crates of fruit and a building under construction are visible behind them. The woman appears to be the one being garlanded, and the saffron-robed figures are people, not portraits.
