Beside him, a figure in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala walks. In the centre, a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a gold chain holds a green cloth. At right, a bearded man in an orange robe walks next to a figure in a dark red robe and orange turban. Blue chairs stand in rows at left, and bamboo scaffolding rises behind the tent.
