Men in white dhotis and orange shawls flank him, one holding a parasol pole, another holding a red object, and a bearded man in orange and white stands to the right. A man with a camcorder is at the right edge, and an orange flag and a clay pot hang in the background under a shelter bearing the Dhyanapeetham emblem.
