In the foreground, several saffron-robed sannyasis wear rudraksha malas and bare upper bodies; one has a white tilak on his forehead and carries a folded white cloth. A man in a grey-blue checked shirt and rudraksha mala stands at centre, and a bald man in orange robes and rudraksha mala holds a microphone. Shoes are piled at the right edge, and a large silver image of a figure is visible at the upper right. A central figure in orange with glasses and a rudraksha mala is at the middle left, but the presence of a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
