Outdoor photo on a paved courtyard beneath green trees and a red-painted pillared enclosure. A man in a saffron-orange robe with thick dark rudraksha malas and a gold-rimmed pair of glasses holds a small green cup and touches sacred ash or tilak to the forehead of a bare-chested young man with a moustache, who wears a white dhoti and a blue sacred thread with a gold tassel. Behind them a line of people in white and orange clothing waits, and a child in pink stands at the right edge.
