On the right, a woman in a red-and-orange sari wearing layered rudraksha garlands and gold bangles raises her palm toward the group in blessing. A shaved-headed man in an orange robe with white tilak stands beside a ceremonial staff, and several older men in white and green-trimmed shirts watch. Other onlookers are gathered behind them, with two women in green and gold saris at the edge.
