At night, a man in an orange-red turban and saffron robes sits on a red cloth-covered seat with a golden lion-shaped finial, wearing a large orange, white and green flower garland and a red rudraksha mala. He holds a yellow card and a small metal dish of petals beside a microphone. Facing him, a woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala and white forehead marks sits close by, and a woman in a white sari with a red-bordered hem and a red-and-gold blouse stands on the right, holding a small object. Behind them, a seated crowd in white and orange clothing fills a tent under a banana-leaf decoration and a hanging orange and green cloth. Swamiji (probable) is the saffron-robed man in the turban, garlanded and seated on the throne-like seat, distinguished by the turban, garland and rudraksha mala.
