Photo taken in a large covered hall with yellow walls and exposed metal beams, with stone sculptures and equipment at the back. Five people stand in conversation on a paved floor. On the far left, a smiling man in rust-red robes with a gold-bordered dhoti and a rudraksha mala wears a white forehead mark. Next to him, a man in a white dhoti with gold border, black rudraksha mala, white sacred thread and a black shoulder bag gestures while touching the cheek of the man in front of him. That man wears saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a gold chain, and holds a small green cloth. To the right, a bearded man in saffron-orange robes smiles, and at the far right another person in rust-red robes with a gold-bordered wrap stands with a rudraksha mala. A kalasha-like object is not visible; the scene is informal.
