Four people in saffron-orange robes stand in a row facing right, one wearing a maroon blouse under an orange sari, while a man in white kurta and white dhoti stands at right beside a cushioned seat with a brass plate and a garland of white and red flowers. Under the lights, the scene looks like a pre-event visit or preparation.
