Outdoor ceremony on a raised platform with red-and-white striped sides and a red carpet, under a colourful umbrella with yellow, blue and green panels. A central figure in orange robes, a long swept-back hairstyle, a flower garland and a saffron cloth sits cross-legged on a woven mat, and the figure's appearance is uncertain. Surrounding them are women in white and orange, a man in a dark suit, and devotees in white and saffron seated or standing. Behind the platform, a banner reads Sri Anandeshwar, with orange pennants strung across the yard and an orange-robed attendant near the entrance.
