A man in an orange saffron robe with a red border walks along a red carpet between metal railings, holding a folded paper and looking down at it. Beside him, a man in a white dhoti and orange shawl with a red stripe walks with hands together. A figure with long swept-back dark hair and a dark rudraksha mala wears an orange robe and reads from the paper. On the right, another monk in orange robes stands with hands folded in front of him. Behind them, people in white clothes, some with white head coverings and some with rudraksha malas, stand in a line. A blue information board and bookshelf are visible on the left, and palm fronds hang near the open doorway.
