Photograph of a man in an orange-saffron shawl and orange garment, with a white and orange-green floral garland around his neck and a rudraksha mala, speaking into a microphone on a stand during a ceremony under a white tent. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders and he has a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him, several seated men in white dhotis and orange shawls, one with a white tilak on his forehead, sit near a white-draped table, a water bottle and a gold-striped pillar. Yellow flowers lie on the cloth in front.
