Before them, a woman in an orange sari kneels on a striped mat while others pour water from a vessel; a man in a dark shirt and a bare-headed person in orange robes assist. Women in yellow, green and pink saris stand or sit behind, and a cameraman in white films the scene. Walls display framed pictures and carved wood.
