Outdoor ceremony at a dusty ground with parked orange-painted trucks and a brick wall behind. A woman in orange saffron robes, bare-footed and wearing a large red and orange marigold garland, walks forward past a low table draped in white cloth. On the table stands a large framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" garlanded with red and yellow flowers and rudraksha-style beads, showing a bearded figure with long hair in orange clothing and a raised hand. Several men in white shirts and dhotis, one in an orange-and-white shirt, follow closely. A uniformed police officer in khaki with a red cap stands at right, and offerings of flower-decorated sweets lie on a mat in the foreground.
