At centre, a long-haired figure in an orange-saffron robe with a multicoloured flower garland and rudraksha-style beads sits and gestures with raised palms toward a group. Surrounding them, several people kneel and sit in white traditional clothes, one woman with a long braid wearing a white sari with a gold border. A man in white shirt and dark trousers stands with folded arms at the back, and a man in white with an orange shawl stands at the right edge. A seated monk in orange robes sits at the far right. Windows with grilles line the walls.
