The central figure wears a deep orange-red robe and has long matted dreadlocks down the back, with a white and pink flower garland around the head.

A long-haired man with a swept-back, braided mane wearing a red-orange dhoti, a red and white flower garland, a gold armlet and a gold-coloured waist cord stands barefoot with palms joined in namaskar, bowing toward a raised stone platform. Around him, many people in orange and saffron robes and orange turbans stand behind a stanchion barrier, several holding their hands together in prayer. On the right, a man in orange holds a tray of marigold and flower offerings, and on the left a bare-chested man in a white dhoti wears a rudraksha-style mala.
