Outdoor gathering at a rural-looking open courtyard with pink and purple tinsel garlands on a red post. A seated figure in an all-orange robe and hood sits on an orange-draped throne-like seat behind a microphone stand, with a vase of red flowers and green leaves beside them. A woman in a white sari with a kneeling posture bows her head toward the seated figure, who rests a hand on her head in blessing. Around them stand many onlookers: girls in white and orange dresses, a man in a striped orange shirt with arms folded, a man in white with glasses, a woman in a teal sari, women in saris, and young boys. Several standing people wear orange shawls.
