In the centre, a man in a rust-brown dhoti and wrap with a pink-and-white flower garland, gold necklaces, gold armbands and a dark red-orange turban steps barefoot onto a red-and-white striped platform, with a woven striped mat under his feet. Two men to the left wear orange-saffron dhotis and ornate gold-bordered garments with white forehead markings and beaded necklaces; one holds a brass tray of flower petals and the other a silver vessel. A further man in orange stands at the right beside a mound of earth, with a bright floodlight in the corner.
