A man stands on stone paving with his palms pressed together at chest level in namaste, wearing a deep maroon turban with a gold ornament and a red tilak on his forehead. He wears a maroon dhoti-style garment with gold borders, layered gold necklaces and a gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a long garland of white and pink flowers with a pink lotus tassel hanging to his knees. Behind him a man in an orange dhoti with gold border holds a tall gold staff, and a bare-chested man with white markings on his arms and a rudraksha mala stands nearby. A cameraman in white dhoti films at left, and a trident is visible above in the background. Several people in white and cream garments stand in the crowd behind.
