A seated man in saffron-orange robes with gold borders wears a white turban with gold trim and a red-and-white jasmine garland of roses over his shoulders. He holds an open booklet or card in both hands and looks down at it, with a red tilak mark on his forehead. Behind him, a red canopy with hanging tassels and orange pennants frame the outdoor ceremony, and a few seated and standing people in white and saffron clothing are visible in the background. A candidate's appearance (long hair, turban, saffron robes, garland) is present, but the identity cannot be confirmed from the image.
