A man in white kurta and white trousers, with a dark beaded necklace, gestures with one raised hand while standing on a yellow mat beside a dark red rug. Behind him a line of devotees in white and cream clothing stands on mats; several hold small metal vessels and one wears a dark blue sari. Some have white cotton balls on their shoulders and purple-and-white wrapped items in their hands. A man on the right in white with a yellow-and-black lanyard holds a metal vessel. The setting looks like a ritual gathering, with people dressed in white ceremonial clothing.
