A central figure in a red-orange saffron robe, with a large dark turban-like head covering and a rudraksha mala, stands with a hand raised to his shoulder. Nearby, a young man in orange robe and rudraksha mala stands. A man in a purple shirt and dark trousers stands with hands clasped, and a woman with long braided hair wears a black top and pink skirt. Several other devotees in red, white and teal clothing stand around, and a seated man in white with a rudraksha mala sits at right.
