A man with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing a turquoise-blue silk garment, a heavy gold multi-strand necklace and a red bindi, stands at centre reading from a small white card.

Beside him, shaved-headed priests in white dhotis with gold necklaces hold brass trays with lamps and offerings. To the left, a line of women, including an older woman in an orange sari with hands folded in namaskar, stands listening. Orange cloth hangings and a saffron flag decorate the background.
