Outdoor ceremony under trees before a red and teal bunting-draped backdrop. A woman with dark curly hair in an orange sari-style garment stands at a microphone on an orange-draped lectern, a garland of white and pink flowers hanging on its side. Seated in rows on the blue-carpeted platform are saffron-robed sannyasis and ascetics, many wearing orange turbans or head cloths, one holding a bamboo-handled object and another with a rudraksha mala. Several men in white kurtas and dhotis stand behind them, and a standing man with a shawl and dark hair looks on. Around fifteen people are visible in the scene.
