A crowded outdoor evening gathering under strings of warm lights. In the centre, a man with dark swept hair, glasses and a moustache wears a white shirt, a dark rudraksha-style mala and a sling bag, with a small tilak on his forehead. Beside and behind him, a bald older man in glasses and a saffron-orange dhoti holds red beads and a gold pendant, and a man in an orange-and-white striped shirt walks alongside. Other men in white shirts and dhotis fill the background, with a bamboo barrier and a stage structure visible. A name badge hangs on the central man's chest.
