He wears a white jasmine garland, a rust-brown shawl and a rudraksha-style mala, with a white tilak and red kumkum on his forehead and a red thread on his wrist. Behind him a yellow and blue ceremonial umbrella with red tassels hangs overhead, and orange flags and a red-brick wall are visible. Other men in white dhotis and rust-coloured garments stand nearby, and an elderly onlooker in a striped shirt is in the background.
