Outdoors on a paved courtyard in front of greenery and a rocky hillside behind a chain-link fence. A bare-chested man with long dark braided hair and a beard, wearing a rust-orange wrap and a beaded rudraksha-style mala, gestures with his hands while speaking. Yellow petals or flower bits are scattered in his hair. Around him stand four men in white: an older man with grey hair in a white shirt and dhoti with hands pressed together in greeting, a man in a white shirt holding a small pink paper, a man in a white shirt and trousers, and a man in a white shirt at the right edge, listening and smiling. Stacked grey stones lie along the left side.
