Outdoor ceremony in a courtyard before red multi-storey ashram buildings and a gold-ornamented shrine tower. A man in white shirt and trousers on the left raises a video camera toward a long white-and-brown pole carried across the scene. A bearded man in a dark rust-brown robe with a long rudraksha-style bead necklace stands center-right holding one end of the pole, while a woman in orange robes and gold border stands with her back to the camera. Behind them, a crowd of devotees in white clothes, orange shawls and lanyards stand with hands folded in prayer. A green signboard partially reads NITHYA.
