Pink rose petals are being showered over a central man with long dark hair and a gold necklace, wearing an orange-red robe. Around him, saffron-robed men with rudraksha malas press close, and a man in a white shirt raises a hand at the right edge. Several women in the crowd smile with hands pressed together in greeting. Red-and-white tent structures and hoarding-style banners with printed portraits line the left side.

Dark tree branches and a lit shop sign appear behind. Lady in a cream sari and glasses stands beside him, holding a plate with red flowers. A shirtless man in red-beaded mala and a man in white clothes with folded hands are nearby. A dark vehicle is visible behind the group. The garlanded man is a candidate for a person by appearance: long hair with a kumkum mark and a beard, wearing saffron-brown robes and a rudraksha mala, with a pale wrap over his shoulder; this is an uncertain identification from appearance only.2017-04-02May 29 20152015-05-29September 15 20152015-09-15
