Two figures in saffron-orange robes stand at left: the man on the left has a shaved head, a beaded necklace and gold pendant, and covers his mouth with one hand; the taller man in the centre has long swept-back hair, a garland of red flowers and a rudraksha-style mala, and holds his hands together in a greeting gesture. Beside them stand a man in white kurta, two women in blue saris, and other onlookers in white. In the foreground a man in a grey shirt bends low, prostrating on the ground at the feet of the saffron-robed figures, while a man in a white striped shirt stands at right with his back to the camera.
