Outdoor scene in front of an orange-painted building with a sign reading श्री अदेश्वर मँदिर.

Around him, men in white kurta clothes with orange and yellow shawls and white flower garlands stand and clap; one bald man in an orange shawl and a rudraksha-style necklace stands beside them. In the foreground a man in white bends forward, and a man at right with white flower garlands faces away. A man in a pink shirt raises a video camera and another holds a still camera.
