Two men stand outdoors in a courtyard at dusk, both wearing yellow-and-orange marigold garlands. The man on the left has a black turban-style wrap, a rust-red cloth draped over his shoulders and bare chest, gold armbands and a gold necklace, and smiles while looking to the side. The man on the right, with a red tilak on his forehead, long swept-back hair and a beard, wears saffron-orange robes and a multi-strand necklace of rudraksha beads and silver-toned discs. He holds a pale cream ceremonial parasol with an ornate embroidered canopy, and a saffron cloth and tiger-print cushion lie on an orange raised platform beside him. Several onlookers in white and casual shirts stand in the background near old pale-yellow buildings.
