An outdoor covered walkway at a building entrance where devotees stand in two lines awaiting an arrival. An orange ceremonial umbrella with fringed edging is held up at the centre. Several women in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas stand at the front, one with hands folded. Behind them devotees in white kurtas and white dhotis, some wearing red shawls and event lanyards, line the walkway. An older woman in white with a red shawl and a woman in grey patterned dress with a red shawl and bindi stand on the right. Grey stone tiles and a green tree backdrop complete the scene.

Photograph of a welcome line on a wet, polished marble-tiled colonnade at an ashram building. On the right, a row of women and devotees stands clapping and applauding; the foreground woman wears a white sari with gold border and a rudraksha mala, and a woman beside her wears an orange sari with a red-and-orange shawl. Several saffron-robed sannyasis, some with orange cloth wraps, stand in the line. An orange parasol is held above the group. On the left, men in dark uniforms and white kurta-style clothing stand at attention, and a few people in white robes and a man in a striped shirt stand near parked cars. Overcast, misty daylight and grey pavement reflections suggest rain.
