He extends one hand, palm out, over a kneeling man in a white shirt who holds a rolled object. A standing woman in a white dress and a long rust-orange rudraksha mala watches. Women in saris and a woman holding a small child in a floral outfit stand behind, against a maroon curtain and red-carpeted seating.
