A large yellow tarpaulin sheet is stretched over a bamboo and metal scaffold against a pale sky. Several men climb a metal ladder up the side of the tarp. A long-haired figure in an orange-saffron shawl over a bare upper body stands near the top of the ladder, with a man in white ritual clothing and orange shawls climbing below them. Behind them, a figure in grey clothing stands at the very top edge of the tarp. Other men in white dhoti-style clothes and orange shawls stand at the base, holding the railing. The scene appears to be a construction or setup area with bamboo poles and yellow canvas.

In the foreground, a figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair and an orange turban stands at the top of a black metal staircase, facing a stone platform. Beside a stone-carved doorway, a bare-chested elderly man with a long white beard, white loincloth and a walking stick is led forward by a man in orange robes holding his shoulder, while a man in orange wrap with a rudraksha-style necklace walks behind. Several men in white dhotis and kurtas and women in orange saris line the background, with trays of offerings and flowers near a white-draped table at left. The a person candidate is not reliably identifiable from appearance, so the role is described as a priest in saffron robes.Outdoors under a heavy grey overcast sky, a group walks along a grassy area and up a red-and-grey concrete stair with metal handrails. In front, a man in a saffron-orange robe and sandals, with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala around his neck, touches his shoulder with one hand. Beside him, a bald man in white dhoti and shirt wears an orange shawl and carries an orange umbrella. Other devotees in white dhotis and yellow shawls follow, and a man in a white shirt and grey trousers holds a phone. A building with green roofing and trees stands in the background.2010-06-13
