Night-time photograph outdoors under a tree at a house visit. A man with long swept-back hair, bare-chested, wearing an orange-red dhoti with a gold waistband, a shawl-like wrap, a rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured ornate necklace, smiles and extends his right hand toward a woman in an orange saree receiving him with a brass kalasha topped with mango leaves and a yellow cloth, a pink flower garland held nearby. Behind them, several people stand with palms pressed together in namaste, including men in white shirts and a woman in a white saree, a young girl in pink, and saffron-robed attendants at left. Lights and foliage are visible overhead.
