In the foreground a figure in saffron-orange turban and wrap, with long dark hair and a long white flower garland, leans forward and reaches out to a bearded man in a lilac shirt with a red forehead mark, who holds his hands together. Beside him an older man in white with rudraksha beads greets with folded hands. Fruit sits on a tray at right, and a white cushion and yellow cloth are in the lower right.
