A central bare-chested man in dark red-maroon cloth with gold borders and a heavy gold ornamental necklace walks past a wooden bench, holding a white flower; he has a tilak on his forehead and a red-brown mala. Around him, many men in red-maroon cloth with rudraksha malas and orange-gold shawls stand, some with hands folded, and red-orange flags are raised. Women in white saris and red shawls, some with hands in añjali, stand among the crowd, and rain droplets fill the air.
