Night outdoor ceremony on a red mat with many women and a young boy seated cross-legged in rows. Most wear white saris with gold borders, several with white vibhuti marks on the forehead, rudraksha or bead necklaces and gold bangles; some hold their hands folded in prayer and others have eyes closed in meditation. Name badges are pinned to their clothes. Smoke rises in the background near a golden bull statue, string lights and bright stage lamps, with orange cloths placed on the mat in front of the seated people.
