A bearded elderly man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a yellow-marked forehead stands at left, hands folded at chest. Beside him, a younger man in a white dhoti with a bare upper body and arm bands stands with a mala. At centre, a smiling man wears a rust-red turban, a rust-red shawl over a rust-red garment with gold-yellow borders, a heavy rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace with a pendant, plus gold bangles. Two shaven-headed men in rust-red robes with yellow borders and rudraksha malas stand at right, one holding a phone. Several other people stand in the background, and a time display on a monitor is visible nearby.
