A smiling man in a cream-coloured turban with jewelled ornaments and a red tilak raises his right hand in blessing as he walks along a line of people. He wears a white and rose garland, a green and gold garment, rudraksha malas and red beaded bracelets. Around him, devotees with folded hands and white or grey shirts bow or stand in a hall with ceiling lights and a wall display. Several shaven-headed men in white and saffron robes stand at the right edge. An appearance-based candidate for the figure in the turban is present, with distinctive rudraksha malas, a turban, and ornate ceremonial clothing; the identification is probable only from these visible cues.
