In the centre, a smiling man wears a rust-red turban with a red tilak on his forehead, a rust-red wrap, and a long rudraksha-style mala with a thin gold chain. To his left, a man with a yellow-orange tilak and white pearl beads grins; to the right, a man in an orange kurta smiles beside a man holding a tall gold-topped staff. Tents and trees appear in the background. The central figure's appearance is not confidently matched to the page, so the identity remains uncertain.
