A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi and white forehead markings wears a thick garland of yellow marigolds and pink flowers over an orange saffron cloth, and is being garlanded by a shaved-headed man in orange cloth with a yellow bead necklace and white markings on his bare back. The garlanded man has a probable Swamiji appearance, with long hair, saffron clothing and a garland, and is being honoured by the attendant priest in orange.
