A man in a long-sleeved orange silk shirt with a white-and-red tilak on his forehead smiles and gestures with his hands toward two men beside him. One man on the left wears a gold-bordered orange shawl, a red-and-gold medallion, a white flower garland, rudraksha beads and a red headband with white tilak. Beside him a bald elderly man in a golden-yellow shawl and a rudraksha garland holds the hand of the first man. A bald man in orange robes with a long rudraksha mala stands at the far left edge, and a small child in a yellow outfit is held up in the back. Many onlookers press close behind, some in white dhotis.
