Outdoor street scene on a grey paved ground beside a blue tarpaulin awning and market stalls. A bald man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a silver trident-topped staff stands at left, watching two rhesus monkeys that sit facing him. In the centre, a man with long swept-back hair wears a saffron-orange shawl over a reddish-brown robe and a marigold garland, holding a small offering in his hands. Beside him a woman wears orange, a man in a grey vest and white trousers holds a staff, and a man at right in an orange shawl and red-and-white cap carries a staff. Spectators stand on a railing at the back, and two more monkeys are in the foreground. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, marigold garland, saffron-orange shawl over a reddish robe) is the central figure.
