A man with long dark hair wears an orange-red shawl with gold border over a brown garment, with a white and orange flower garland draped around his neck and a gold chain. He walks through a covered hall with a corrugated roof and orange walls, past a metal railing. Behind him, a shaven-headed man in brown robes with a rudraksha mala and a white forehead mark stands near another attendant. On the right, a man with a shaved head, white forehead and ash markings, wearing a brown sannyasi-style garment, rudraksha beads and a gold-bordered cloth, holds a red cloth tray with a small metal ritual object and paper on it. Several onlookers in casual clothes stand in the background near speakers mounted on the wall.
