A young man in white with a yellow shawl sits cross-legged at the altar, with a man in white beside him. In the foreground, many people with shaved or short hair wear orange saffron robes and sit facing the altar, some seen from behind. Garlands hang across the altar and a yellow cloth backdrop frames the scene.
