Outdoor ceremony on a red mat-covered ground with a white painted outline. Hundreds of people, mostly in white and pastel clothing with red turbans, stand arranged in a large formation facing the same direction. Seated devotees in orange, yellow and magenta garments line the foreground on colourful mats. Two decorated red-and-gold altar boxes with brass kalasha-like lamps sit in front. A cameraman on a tripod films the scene, and a camera crane arm extends over the crowd. Trees, stacked timber and speakers frame the open site.

Many wear red or orange robes and some white. Around the formation, onlookers sit on the dusty ground and stand in small groups, some in white kurtas and dark trousers. Behind them are construction scaffolding, a yellow crane, green netting, palm and tree foliage, and distant hills under a hazy sky. A purple bird logo appears in the top left corner.
