Those in front wear saffron-orange garments, with one bare-chested man in a reddish-brown cloth carrying a long staff. Behind them, men in white shirts and white dhotis follow, and one older man in white walks at the right edge. A woman in a white sari with a dark border stands near the left pillars, and a few people are seated further back. A loudspeaker is mounted on a pillar at right. The scene suggests a visit to a temple. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance alone.
