Outdoor ceremonial gathering under two large yellow canopies with multicolored fringed borders, with a yellow and a green flag visible on poles. A man in an orange turban, orange robe and a white floral garland with rudraksha beads stands with palms pressed together in greeting at centre. Beside him an elderly bearded man in orange and white wears a garland. A young girl in a floral dress offers flowers and a brass plate, and men in white shirts and dhotis hold trays of petals and garlands around the crowd. Dusty ground is strewn with petals, and many onlookers stand behind.
