A man in saffron-orange robes and a wrapped orange dhoti walks barefoot down a red carpet between two metal railings, wearing a long beaded rudraksha-style mala with a large pendant. Spectators line both sides of the walkway with hands joined in anjali mudra, many wearing orange shawls and white or grey clothes. A golden staff or tall ceremonial pole stands near the carpet, and a tent-like roof with metal beams covers the hall. Ceremonial green and pink fabric hangs at the left edge. Some people in the background are seated along the route.
