A photograph of a man in an orange turban and orange robe, with a multicolour garland of white, red and green flowers around his neck and a red tilak on his forehead, holding a brass aarti lamp with lit flames toward the viewer in a bare white room. Beside him, a bearded man in orange, an older man in white dhoti and shirt, and young women in cream and orange saris stand with trays of rose petals, and young men in orange robes assist. Two people with cameras are visible in the doorway behind.
