A photograph inside a covered hall with a corrugated roof and metal railings. A central figure with long dark hair wears an orange saffron robe, a red and white flower garland, and a red rudraksha mala, walking barefoot while holding his hands together in a gesture of respect. Behind him, a colourful canopy umbrella with yellow, blue and red panels and tassels is held over the procession. A bearded man in orange robes walks at his left and another orange-clad attendant walks at his right, both barefoot. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts stand along the edges, and a woman in a white sari with blue border stands at right. Tall painted pillars with bird and floral motifs flank the space, and a metal railing lines the walkway.
