A large outdoor gathering with many people in white, cream and orange clothing. In the foreground, a long-haired figure in a white dhoti and cream shawl with a gold border leans over a gold-coloured ceremonial vessel decorated with flowers, receiving a folded document from a man in a white dhoti and shawl. A bearded man in an orange robe and orange-beaded garland stands beside a bald man in white. A woman in a blue sari holds an offering wrapped in red cloth, and a boy in white shirt stands nearby. Red and white carpets, floral garlands and a blue-and-white stage frame the scene; a golden deity murti sits at lower right.
