A man with long swept-back hair wears saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha-style mala and a gold-coloured ceremonial necklace, holding a small vessel and spoon while pouring liquid. Beside him a younger saffron-clad attendant holds another vessel, and a third saffron-robed young man on the right holds a white cloth and a tray. Behind them a tall orange flag and white-clad figures stand near a fence. The scene reads as a tree planting or ground-breaking blessing ceremony.2008-04-19
