At the centre, a man in a saffron-orange turban and saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a white and red flower garland stands smiling, hands at his sides.

Beside him, a bearded man in an orange dhoti and shawl stands next to an older man in white.

Beside him a man in a white dhoti holds a tray of yellow flowers, and a woman in a blue sari carries a bag.
