Night-time photograph of a ceremony at an outdoor pavilion lit by strings of coloured lights. On the right, a bare-chested man with long dark braided hair, a white flower garland with pink, yellow and red blossoms, a red-orange cloth over his shoulder, a gold armlet and gold earrings, stands with eyes lowered. Beside him a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a gold border and a brown shawl with an orange pendant stands facing forward, with a third man in white behind. Offerings and brass or gold ceremonial items sit on a tray at the right edge. Appearance-based candidate: a person, the long-haired man with garland and red-orange cloth, as the page indicates his presence; identity uncertain from the photograph alone.
