A second man in orange with a short haircut and a vermilion mark on his forehead rests a hand on the seated man's shoulder. Behind them, a person in white stands near a white cushion, and a few blurred heads are visible in the lower foreground.

She wears an orange and lavender sari, a gold necklace and bangles, and a red bindi. Beside her a man in a green shirt and pale trousers watches, and a younger man in white with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala stands behind a white-draped table holding a plate of offerings, with flowers and a red curtain behind. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-robed man has long swept-back hair and an orange garment, matching the page's claim of his presence at this event.
