Outdoors on a dirt ground in front of a thatched-roof structure and palm trees, a man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair and a red-and-white flower garland stands receiving a garland from another saffron-robed figure with long curly hair who stands with his back to the camera. The garland-receiver wears rudraksha beads and a tilak on his forehead. Behind them a silver SUV is parked, and a white-clad man with a rudraksha mala and yellow shawl stands at left. A cameraman in white with a mala films at right, and another white-clad man in a yellow shawl stands beside him.
