Indoor evening ritual in a plain room with pink walls and an orange lower band, lit by a bright flash. A figure on the left in an orange robe holds a long staff. Seated centrally in orange robes with rudraksha beads, a man with long dark hair sits on a white-sheeted bed; to his right, seated in orange robes, another man with a shaved head sits near a brass vessel. Several people in white clothes sit behind them. On the right, a garlanded table holds flower garlands and a cloth-covered object, with a standing man in a white shirt and a camera on a tripod nearby. A framed picture hangs on the wall. Shown as a photo of people; the central figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the a person field is unsure.
