Photo inside a tent with orange and red draped fabric. A man in an orange-brown turban and orange robes, wearing a rudraksha mala, leans forward and drapes a long orange cloth over the head of a bearded older man with long grey hair and a yellow-orange tilak on his forehead, who bows low and wears a yellow-orange shawl printed with script. A small brass or gold ornamental piece hangs at the top of the frame, and a bottle of water sits at the left edge. Only two people are physically visible, plus a partially visible figure in orange at the right edge.
