A man in an orange robe and orange head cloth, with a rudraksha-style mala, stands on a white platform with his right hand raised toward the pole. Beside him a second person in orange holds a tray of marigold petals. Palm fronds and orange flower-and-leaf strands hang from the pole, and a small stone sculpture sits at the left edge. Several people in white and orange watch from below, some photographing with cameras.
