A central figure in a saffron-orange top and a gold brocade shawl has two long garlands of red and green flowers draped over their shoulders, held up by a devotee's hands. Several men in white dhotis and shirts crowd around, one older man with grey hair in the foreground looking on, and a younger man at right with a rudraksha mala. The figure's long dark hair falls forward, and the gold and orange clothing contrasts with the white attire of those around them.
