A woman in a white sari with a gold border and pink shawl bends forward, receiving two brass ceremonial objects from a man with long swept-back dark hair wearing an orange robe, black rudraksha mala and a gold ornament necklace. A bald man in orange robes with glasses and rudraksha beads stands beside him holding a card with a blue and red design. Other people in white and orange robes, one wearing a yellow shawl, watch from behind, and a camera on a tripod stands at the right.
