A photo inside a white and red festival pavilion with a green-and-red floor runner and marigold garlands along the rail. A man in orange robes carries a tall golden staff with a trident-like finial on the left. In the centre, a long-haired man in white dress with a red garland, a gold necklace and a rudraksha mala walks forward; he is a person candidate given the distinctive long hair, ceremonial gold necklace, and red garland, though his appearance is only partly clear. Beside him a bearded man in orange holds a golden staff and a man in orange with a mala walks behind. A bearded man in white on the right presses his palms together, and attendants in white dhotis stand near a draped table with blue cloth.
