Outdoor celebration on a red carpet in front of a banner reading a Kannada date line with the numeral 13. Two seated figures in the centre: a smiling woman in a dark maroon sari with a yellow-and-white marigold garland, and a bald elderly man in saffron-orange robes with a yellow marigold garland and rudraksha mala, seated on a cushioned bench with a dark red cover. Around them stand men in orange, saffron and white dhotis and shawls, some wearing yellow and orange sashes, gold armlets and rudraksha malas, with one man in a white turban. A man at the far left holds a bare-chested ceremonial pose with a shawl and beaded necklace.
