A festive outdoor event under a red, blue and yellow canopy. A central man with long hair pulled back wears a red and gold silk garment, a large garland with red pompoms and silver bead ornaments, and gold necklaces; a rudraksha mala hangs on his chest. He smiles broadly as a young girl in a blue and gold embroidered outfit is greeted by a man in a white shirt holding a microphone. To the right, a shaved-headed man in orange and white wears a rudraksha mala and bangles. Flower garlands of white jasmine with pink blooms lie on a tray in the foreground, and a decorated backdrop with a deity print appears behind. Several other men and women in white and pink clothing stand around.
