Two bearded men in saffron and red robes sit on a red and gold embroidered cushioned dais at centre, with a fan and a man in a pink shirt filming on a phone at left. To the right, two shaven-headed priests in orange-red dhotis with gold-bordered shawls and white-bead necklaces sit, one writing in a notebook. In the foreground, two women in white saris with red-bordered shawls and a long gold chain sit on a mat with petals scattered before them, and a man in a pink shirt sits beside them. Several onlookers stand at the back, one in a light peach robe with a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, and an orange-robed attendant stands at right.
