A photograph outdoors beside a decorated palanquin with colourful striped and tasselled draping under a golden finial, set in a dirt courtyard with palm trees and a silver van behind. A shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a white-and-gold garland, stands barefoot holding a silver tray with a pink cloth-covered kalasha, a flower garland and a pink flower. Facing him is a long-haired person in a pink sari-style wrap with a pink blouse and a beaded necklace, gesturing with an open hand. Behind them a man in white ritual dress with a gold necklace stands near a white-draped table. A brick wall with a signboard is visible at left.
