A smiling man wearing an ornate white and gold-striped turban decorated with beads, a central jewelled brooch and red trim, with a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair falling behind him. He is surrounded by a crowd: a man with a red bindi and shoulder-length hair on the left, a person in white and orange garments behind him, and a white-haired man in a light shirt at right. White flower garlands are visible at the right edge. Beneath the ceiling of a hall, people stand close together in a busy darshan setting. The man in the turban has striking adornments and matches the presentation of a person in a ceremonial role, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
