A central figure in a saffron-orange robe with long, dark, swept-back hair and a full beard cuts a red ribbon with scissors at the entrance of a building with a cream-coloured door. Beside him, a smiling woman in a white sari with rudraksha beads and a ceremonial red-orange cloth in her hands assists with the opening. Behind them, a row of onlookers in white shirts, dark trousers and saree-clad women watch, and a banner overhead shows a portrait photograph and printed text. A red canopy with white scalloped edges stands to the right, and a small child in a grey top stands in the foreground at left.
