A tented pavilion with a red carpet and gold-coloured ritual objects on display. Four men walk in a procession: the central figure wears an orange-saffron robe, a saffron turban, and a long rudraksha mala, and holds his hands in a blessing gesture; he may be the a person, with long hair and a robe matching the sannyasi presentation of the cues. Flanking him, men in white dhotis with gold borders wear gold necklaces, one holding a ceremonial staff. A yellow umbrella and red umbrellas are carried overhead, and a crowd of onlookers stands behind a barrier in the background.
