Outdoor photograph under a red, blue and orange canopy with a silver-topped umbrella. A woman in a red and gold sari, heavy gold necklaces and flower garlands stands before a red-draped table holding brass pots, fruit and flower offerings, while a bald man in orange robes raises a golden tray over her head. Men in white shirts and dhotis, some wearing red shawls, stand around them. Behind is a banner showing a smiling man in an orange turban and a deity-like figure, with rose petals scattered on the table. The scene looks like a ceremonial blessing or puja.
