A man with long dark hair wearing an orange-saffron shawl and orange dhoti, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, walks forward with palms pressed together in greeting. Behind him, men in white dhotis and white shirts with white mala necklaces walk among the pits, and a seated audience in white and light clothing fills the left side.
