Night-time photograph at an outdoor programme. A figure in an orange-saffron garment with a pale yellow border, wearing a coral-bead necklace, gold earrings and a gold bangle, sits on the left, extending his hands to pass an item to a woman in a white embroidered sari with a red bead necklace and a thin gold chain, who bends forward with hands cupped to receive it. Behind them, a blue and maroon cloth is draped as a backdrop, and a few people in white and coloured clothing stand watching. A large gold-coloured decorative object is in the foreground, and a standing fan is visible at left. A yellow pamphlet is held near the bottom right. The figure on the left shows a person cues: orange robes, a coral mala and ceremonial gold adornment, seated in a presiding role.
