A smiling man in a vivid multicolored turban of orange, red and pink, wearing a green and gold brocade vest, pink sash, layered beaded necklaces and gold armlets, stands at a table of ritual items and gestures toward them with one hand. Beside him a man in a white shirt and jeans stands with palms pressed together in namaste, and other devotees in orange and red clothing are blurred in the background near a colourful backdrop. Several people are visible, including partially visible figures at the left edge. The turban-wearing figure is not visibly a distinctive candidate for a person under the cue rules, so the a person field is unsure.
