Behind them a woman with a red tilak on her forehead and gold earrings, and other seated people in white and maroon, sit before beige draped fabric and a purple patterned backdrop. The turbaned figure is described as a person on appearance cues: maroon turban, saffron-toned robe, and rudraksha necklace, performing a blessing on a devotee.
