In the centre, a smiling man wears an orange-saffron turban with a red tilak on his forehead, an orange robe, and a long brown rudraksha mala, and he raises his hand in greeting.

A utility pole and a wire run across the upper frame, and a white building edge with a stone wall appears at top right.
