A bearded man in a maroon-brown robe, with a pink flower garland and gold necklace, holds a tall gold-shafted umbrella with a multicoloured fringed canopy above his head.

A young girl in orange robes with a rudraksha-style necklace dances at the left edge with her hands raised. Lamps glow at the right edge, and a few other devotees in orange are visible at the right.
