The central figure wears a saffron-orange turban, saffron-orange robes draped over the shoulder, a rudraksha mala and a long garland of white flowers with red blossoms, smiling broadly. Several people in saffron robes stand around; one standing at the right wears saffron and holds a beaded mala. At left, a man in a black jacket and orange headband holds a pink-lidded container, and another person in white and orange holds a printed sign reading Ananda Ashram Address.
