Outdoor ceremony under a large tree beneath a multicoloured fringed canopy held on a pole at the right edge. A man in a white turban and white dhoti with gold-bordered shawl stands centre with palms joined in namaskar, smiling, wearing a white and multicoloured flower garland, rudraksha mala and gold ornament. Around him devotees in white kurtas and dhotis stand on striped mats, several raising hands in devotion; a woman in a white sari stands to the right. A brass oil lamp with flowers sits on a white-draped table at lower left. Given the page's a person tag and the turban, rudraksha and garland, this is a person in person in a ritual setting, though appearance cues are limited.
