Outdoor ceremony under a pitched red and green canopy with colourful fabric bunting and fringed umbrellas beside a bamboo fence. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robe with a white and orange flower garland stands at left, hands raised in an offering gesture, with an orange shawl-like wrap and a multicoloured woven runner hanging nearby. Beside them, several saffron-robed men in orange garments and flower garlands stand, one holding a tray or offering plate. Behind the fence, white-clad men in white shirts and dhotis watch, some wearing lanyards. Trees form the backdrop.
