A seated group on a red-and-terracotta patterned tiled floor, with a row of onlookers standing and sitting in the background. In the foreground, a man in a white dhoti and shawl with a white tilak on his forehead holds a white folded paper and a small object, next to a bald older man in a white shirt holding a clipboard and pen. To the left, two men sit with black blindfolds over their eyes, one in a white dhoti with a yellow-and-gold border and rudraksha beads, the other holding a pink sheet of paper. Another man in a white dhoti with a pink head cloth sits in the middle, and a bearded man in white stands at right. A brass plate holds white flowers or grains and small items sit on the floor. Nothing identifies a specific event.
