Outdoor ceremony under a decorated tent with floral-patterned hangings and a wooden pillar in the foreground. A figure in a rust-brown dhoti and shawl, with a white headband and a long white garland, stands with palms pressed together before the pillar. Beside him a bearded man in an ochre-saffron robe gestures with open hands. Nearby a man in a red-orange robe and orange turban stands with hands clasped, and a man with a microphone in a maroon vest speaks. Offerings sit on the grass, including a brass bowl of apples, orange marigold flowers and a red cloth mat. Several onlookers in saffron and white clothing watch, and one person holds up a phone to take photos.
