A night-time indoor event in a temple-style hall with a corrugated metal roof and strings of fairy lights. A bright spotlight illuminates a central figure in a red-orange dhoti and a long garland of marigolds and green leaves, bare-chested with rudraksha beads, arms raised with one hand pointing upward. A figure in an orange wrap at left gestures toward him. Beside them, a bearded man in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala stands near golden temple-like carvings, and a man in a brown robe and bright orange turban holds his hands together. Two women stand at right, one in a white sari with a brass pot and one in a purple sari. A red carpet and a striped mat lie on the floor, and a world map hangs in the background.
