In the centre, a man in an orange robe and orange shawl wears a long white flower garland with a tassel, and has a red-and-white tilak on his forehead. Beside him, a woman in a gold-bordered saffron-and-gold sari carries a silver tray holding a kalasha-style vessel with flowers. On the left, a man in a white shirt and cream dhoti gestures with folded hands; another man in an orange robe walks behind. On the right, a man in a white shirt holds a silver tray.

Outdoor photo at a temple-style ground beneath palm trees and a thatched shelter. A man in orange robes with long swept-back hair and white markings on his arms holds a silver vessel decorated with yellow flowers and white garlands, while a smiling young man in orange with a white flower garland and gold headband presses his palms together in greeting. Other orange-robed devotees and people in white dhotis and a woman in orange and white stand nearby. Decorated ceremonial umbrellas with blue and red emblems hang overhead. Whether the robed man with long hair is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
