Night-time outdoor ceremony under a open-sided pavilion with string lights and a large banner of a world map. A man in a rust-red robe with a long red and white flower garland and a rudraksha mala stands barefoot on a paved floor, while a long-haired man in an orange dhoti holds a lit oil lamp toward him. Several people in white dhotis and orange shawls stand with hands folded, and colourful decorated umbrellas in yellow, blue, purple and red are held overhead. A trident stands in the centre, and to the right an ornate throne-like seat and a decorated stand with flowers and cloth are arranged, with a small screen on the platform.
