A procession walks down a red-carpeted aisle inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and orange walls. Behind him, a man in white carries a tall golden staff with a pennant, and a colourful canopy with tassels is held overhead. Several men in white dhotis and gold necklaces and a woman in an orange sari follow, while women in saris line the walkway. Decorated striped pillars and a banner line the hall, and a person stands at the far end of the aisle.

A barefoot procession walks along a red carpet down a covered hall decorated with hanging yellow-green leaf garlands. At the centre, a smiling man in a saffron-orange robe wears a white flower garland with red blossoms and a white head wrap, and holds his hands together in greeting; he is a person candidate by his saffron clothing and the flower garland, though his face and features are not used for identification. Behind him, another saffron-robed figure with a long beard and a rudraksha mala walks alongside him. Men in white dhotis and shirts and women in white saris carry ceremonial items, and a man in white plays a drum on the right. An ornate canopy and a gold-topped staff stand in the background, with a yellow banner held aloft.

Tall decorated pillars with painted birds, flowers and yellow tassels stand along the sides, and a colourful deity backdrop glows at the far end under overhead lights.
