A central figure in a saffron-orange robe and a tall orange turban stands at the front, with a bare-faced ceremonial standing posture, facing a seated group. Roughly two dozen seated people sit in a semicircle, many young women with long braided hair wearing white and orange saris and salwar, and several men in white dhotis and shirts. Standing people line the background, some in white and some in orange scarves, near a table with metal containers and a small stool. A signboard above reads in Tamil.
