A seated figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and a draped orange shawl places a hand on the forehead of a man kneeling in a white kurta. Several people stand nearby with hands pressed together or palms lowered in reverence, including a woman in a white and peach salwar with an orange shawl, a man in a cream kurta, and a woman in a white kurta with a red mala. Children are present, one small child in a white top and maroon skirt standing on a red floral mat, while trays of offerings and flowers sit nearby.
