Outdoor ceremony at a temple courtyard with red-carpeted tiered steps behind. A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair, a crown-like peacock feather headdress, gold-and-beaded necklaces, gold armlets and a saffron-red wrap sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne holding a long silver staff topped with a bell-like finial; he is a probable Swamiji by appearance and presentation cues, and the page names him as present. Beside him a young man with dreadlocked hair, rudraksha mala and white dhoti with gold border hands out a folded orange cloth. Behind them, women in white and gold-bordered saris and a bald man in white dhoti stand holding orange cloths, and a woman sits near a gold tray of leaves. A gold ceremonial tray with circular cups sits in front.
