In the foreground, a man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala speaks into a microphone while others in saffron and orange robes sit on white cushioned sofas. At the centre-right, a figure in white kurta with a crown-like headpiece sits beside a bearded man bare-chested in a white dhoti and shawl. At far right, a woman in a deep red-orange sari with gold necklaces and dark hair sits among the group. Several spectators are visible in the background.
