An older man with grey hair in a white dhoti with a gold border offers the tray, and another man in orange clothing stands at the right edge.

A man in orange robes with long swept-back hair and white markings on his arms holds a silver vessel decorated with yellow flowers and white garlands, while a smiling young man in orange with a white flower garland and gold headband presses his palms together in greeting. Other orange-robed devotees and people in white dhotis and a woman in orange and white stand nearby. Decorated ceremonial umbrellas with blue and red emblems hang overhead.
