Outdoors on a dry, dusty open plot with power lines and a transmission tower behind, a person in an orange-red sleeveless wrap with a gold-coloured border has a long garland of yellow marigolds, white flowers and red blooms placed over the head and shoulders. An older man in white shirt and white trousers with a saffron-coloured shawl draws the garland into place, while a woman in a cream-and-gold sari with pearl necklace and bangles holds a brass plate with a kalasha-style pot decorated with green leaves and flowers. A parked silver car sits to the left. Another figure in white stands behind.
