A seated figure in an orange saffron robe and a large pink flower garland sits on a white-draped platform, with one hand raised to the head of a kneeling man in a checked short-sleeved shirt and white dhoti who has his palms pressed together. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and a smiling expression. Behind them a large crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis and women in colourful saris stands on a dusty ground, with a green carpet and a white cloth on the platform edge and a speaker stack at the upper right. The gesture appears to be a blessing or darshan.
