A covered outdoor veranda with a tiled roof and wooden pillars, green trees and a blue wall behind. A long-haired young man in a saffron-orange sleeveless top with a gold necklace sits on a white plastic chair with his hands clasped, while a seated man in a white shirt in a wheelchair holds his hands. A shirtless older man with sacred markings on his body stands at left, another bare-chested man in a white dhoti with an orange sash stands behind, and a young man in white holds a woven basket. Men in white dhotis and a man in an orange checked shirt stand around, with rudraksha beads and gold chains visible. The saffron-clad figure is an appearance-based probable candidate for a person, based on long hair, saffron clothing and gold necklace, shown receiving blessings from the group.
