A man in saffron robes with long swept-back hair, bare-shouldered, stands centre-left holding a folded paper, with a sleeveless saffron wrap and a rudraksha-style necklace; appearance alone is insufficient to confirm identity. Beside him, a bearded sannyasi in orange robes with a maroon border stands with hands together, and a man in a white shirt and white dhoti holding a phone wears a beaded mala. Two more saffron-robed men stand at left and in the background, along with a woman in a red sari and other devotees, and a child in red at far left.

A man with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing orange saffron robes and a red sash, sits on the floor and hands out items from a white tray filled with packets, fruit and sweets to a woman in white who has her palms pressed together in greeting. Beside him a bald monk in orange robes stands holding a card, a second orange-robed monk stands behind, and a man in white with a yellow shawl and rudraksha mala stands at the right. Several seated devotees in orange, yellow and plaid shirts line the background near a white fan. The long-haired man has distinctive long hair and orange robes, a person cue, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
