A line of women in traditional South Indian saris stands on a red carpet in front of a white building, each holding a brass kalasha pot decorated with mango leaves, flower garlands and coconuts. The women in front wear white and cream saris with coloured borders, and their foreheads bear vibhuti marks. Scattered petals cover the carpet. Behind them, a man in white clothing stands near the doorway, a portrait is displayed on a stand, and to the right a seated man in saffron robes sits in a plastic chair, a figure who may be a sannyasi but whose face is not visible enough to identify. Green palm fronds and a garland-decorated entrance frame the scene.
