A man in long hair and saffron-orange robes, garlanded with white jasmine and red flowers, smiles and gestures with raised fingers, as an orange-robed attendant with long hair stands at right beside a brass oil lamp (deepam) decorated with red-pink flower garlands. Women in pink and cream silk saris and gold jewellery, a man in a white shirt, and a small boy in white gather around, smiling and clapping. A tall garlanded frame hangs above the doorway.
