Beside him, another man in saffron-orange robes smiles and holds a small bottle of water and a dark book. On the left, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds a stack of books, and a man in white with a red tilak mark on his forehead stands nearby. On the right, a man in white with palms pressed together faces the group, and an older bare-chested priest with white tripundra marks on his forehead and a sacred thread across his chest folds his hands. A man in a yellow shirt holds a camera, and a shirtless man with a sacred thread stands at the back. Several other people in white clothes fill the frame.
