A seated audience at a large gathering, with a central bare-chested man in orange dhoti and a rudraksha mala clapping, his body marked with white sacred ash stripes. Around him devotees in white and orange garments sit, including a man in a white dhoti with an orange shawl and a bald man with a red tilak. Two children in orange clothing sit in the foreground, one wearing a rudraksha mala. Nearby an older man with white hair wears an orange shawl. No clearly distinctive a person cues such as long swept-back hair, crown or ceremonial gold necklace are evident on any candidate, so the identity is uncertain. Roughly twenty to thirty people are visible in the scene.

A man with grey hair and a pendant necklace sits near the centre of the crowd, and a smiling man in white with a mala sits to the right.
