Photo of a standing man in an orange-saffron turban and saffron robe with a long rudraksha-style beaded necklace draping his chest, placing a grey shawl over the head of a bending man in a white shirt and a seated-style devotee in yellow and maroon dhoti with a gold pendant and white sacred thread. A bald man with a red vertical tilak and glasses stands behind, watching. Behind them is a large painted backdrop of banyan tree trunks and roots. Orange-clad figure's clothing and beads are distinctive; the person presenting the shawl matches the a person appearance cues of an ornate saffron turban, saffron robe and beaded necklace, so probable identification is noted as appearance-based only. Three physical people are visible, a shawl being presented in a respectful gesture.

A seated figure with long dreadlocked hair, a leopard-print headband, white tilak marks, a white flower and red rose garland, rudraksha beads and red-brown robes places a hand on the forehead of a kneeling devotee in white dhoti with a yellow-bordered shawl, his palms raised.
