Indoor ceremony in a hall with a red banner on a pillar. A woman in an orange-red shawl and red blouse sits on a dark cushion and dips her finger into a small vessel on a green leaf-plate held by a shaved-headed young priest in orange robes wearing a rudraksha-style bead necklace. A man in white kurta with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala stands before her with hands folded, receiving the blessing. Onlookers in white and orange stand behind. Appearance-based: the seated woman in orange with hair pulled back does not show the distinctive a person cues required for identification, so no identity is asserted; the seated person is a devotee-type figure in orange.
