At centre, a smiling young man wears an orange robe, a white flower garland, layered gold-and-beads necklaces and a tan turban with a gold band, and holds a tall golden trident. Around him, saffron-clad sannyasis and devotees walk closely, including an older man in orange with a rudraksha mala on the right.

The crowd is packed tightly with a blurred woman in the foreground.
