Photograph of a hall with a tiled floor where two men in matching rust-red and saffron-bordered garments walk toward the camera. The taller man on the left has long dark hair swept back and wears a rudraksha mala and a long ceremonial necklace; the bald man on the right wears a rudraksha mala and bracelets. Behind them, women in white and cream saris with orange shawls and garlands walk and stand, and a cameraperson in white kurta films the scene at left. Plastic water bottles, a table and red chairs appear in the background, with a doorway at right.
