Outdoor ceremony under a multicoloured striped canopy with a golden throne draped in yellow and white flower garlands. A figure seated on the throne wears a dark crown-like headpiece, rudraksha-style necklaces and a maroon cloth, holding a ceremonial staff raised with one hand and smiling. Standing before the throne, a man in a maroon robe and reddish-orange turban holds a microphone and a book. To the right, a line of bare-chested men in white dhotis and shawls stand with open books, while women and girls in orange and red saris, with flower and gold ornaments, stand behind them. Palm trees, a tiled-roof shed and a striped mat on the paved ground complete the scene.
