Festive gathering in a decorated tent with saffron and orange garments. A standing man at upper centre wears an orange robe and has long dark hair with a vertical marking on his forehead; the appearance is a person candidate with long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, but his face is not clear enough to confirm. Beside him a seated man in an orange robe and orange shawl with a gold ceremonial necklace holds a white fan-shaped object. A woman in a rust-red turban with a jewelled brooch and layered gold and bead necklaces smiles and reaches toward a small child in the lower foreground. At far right a bearded man in an orange turban and orange robe sits. Behind them are colourful statues, a decorated canopy and a crowd of people in white and orange clothing.

Behind them a bearded man with a white beard and a sadhu with matted hair and yellow tilak stand among others, one holding an offering. A young man in a pink shirt stands at left.

A smiling person in a deep red-maroon turban and maroon robe wears a long multi-strand gold-bead necklace and rudraksha-style beads, and holds a white paper as they greet an older bald man in orange robes and a gold necklace who holds an orange-and-green umbrella. Several other people in orange, saffron and white ritual clothes stand and sit around them, a man in white with a sash stands at left, and a man with white ash marks on his forehead and face appears at right.
