Night photograph of a ceremonial gathering under a tent with string lights and red-and-white draping. In the foreground a young woman wearing an ornate gold crown and a blue blouse with a white sash stands at left, holding a camera-like object near a photographer's lens. Beside her an elderly man in a pale yellow kurta bends forward to offer something onto a steel plate on a low wooden table. Seated across from him, a bearded man in orange robes wears a white flower garland, and next to him a man in a rust-red turban and dark robe with a flower garland smiles and holds his palms together. Behind them rows of seated people in orange, white and red clothing sit on a long teal carpet before decorated walls with lotus-style motifs and small oil lamps.
