Outdoor photo at a dusty site in front of a white single-storey building with banana plants and a silver SUV parked to the left. A central figure in an orange-saffron robe with a white flower garland, bare-footed, reaches up to a tall red-brown pole or flagstaff while others in white dhotis and kurtas assist and stand around. A man in an orange robe stands beside him, and a woman in a white sari with red border and another woman in white stand to the right with hands folded.
