In the centre, a man in a saffron-orange turban and orange robe, seen from behind with his bare back partly visible, places his raised right hand on the head of a kneeling man in white kurta with a dark rudraksha mala, whose hands are pressed together in greeting. A woman in white with an orange shawl kneels beside them. A woman in a pink salwar kameez stands at left, a white pedestal fan and a small red patterned rug are visible.
