A central figure in an orange saffron robe with a bald head, white beard and a gold chain smiles and extends a hand. Beside him stands a man with long dark wavy hair, a rudraksha mala and orange robes, and a bearded man in orange robes rests a hand on the central figure's arm. A bald orange-robed monk, a man in white shirt and a seated crouching man in a striped shirt are nearby, with a red tilak on several faces. Plastic chairs and a crowd of men in white shirts fill the foreground and background. a person may be the central figure in orange robes with a gold chain, as the page indicates his presence; this appearance-based label is unconfirmed.
