In the foreground a bald man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl wears a long beaded garland and a blue object in his hand. Beside him a man in white shirt and white dhoti with gold border wears a rudraksha mala and a red tilak mark. Behind them, men in orange robes and garlands walk, and men in white shirts and white dhotis stand to the left and right. A man in white with a rudraksha mala is at the right edge.
