In the centre, a smiling man with long dark hair wears an orange saffron dhoti and a leopard-print shawl, with a rudraksha-style beaded mala around his neck, and carries a long wooden staff. Behind him, a man in orange clothing holds a silver kalasha pot with green leaves on top. Other people in white and yellow dhotis stand in the background, and a dark stone structure draped in white cloth with a garland of yellow flowers sits to the right. Red string lights and a red-lit canopy frame the scene, and a partially visible sign hangs at the top. Several people in the background wear white and yellow clothing.
