A smiling man at centre sits on a cushioned seat, wearing a rust-orange turban, a saffron-and-orange garment, layered gold and bead necklaces, a gold armband and a dark ornamental shawl, with a red tilak on his forehead. To his left, a man in white ritual cloth with red tilak and garlands holds a golden umbrella-style parasol with an orange canopy. To the right, a bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala and red-brown cloth smiles. Large golden bells hang beside the seat, and trees and utility poles are visible behind.

A man with long swept-back dark hair and a saffron/orange shawl over an orange dhoti sits on the throne, smiling and holding a rudraksha mala, with a tilak on his forehead; the appearance is consistent with a person on a palanquin during the Kumbha Mela procession, though the identity is uncertain. Beside him, a shaved-headed young man in an orange wrap and rudraksha malas bends forward and touches the seated man's bare foot in reverence.
