A photograph of a doorway in a plain whitewashed wall, with dark wooden double doors swung open. A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a tilak on his forehead walks forward through the doorway wearing a saffron-orange robe, a long gold chain with a pendant, and orange sandals; his hands are folded in front of him. Two older men flanking him are bare-chested and wear white dhotis; one has white hair and the other a moustache. Several more people stand in the dim interior behind them, and one holds a bundle of green leaves. The floor is pale stone.

The central figure wears an orange robe, an orange shawl and a long yellow-and-red marigold garland, with a red-and-yellow tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. Beside him on the left, a man in white dhoti and shirt walks with hands folded. Behind, another person in an orange shawl and white clothes walks, and a man in white dhoti and shirt with a wristwatch stands on the right. Garlands in yellow and red line the doorframe.
