In the foreground a figure with long dark hair, seen from behind, wears an orange-saffron garment and a yellow flower garland adorned with blossoms. Around them devotees press forward, several men in white shirts, one holding a pink garland. Behind, older men in white with a white vibhuti marking on the forehead and spectacles stand near a thatched palm-roof structure with a red-and-white cloth above.
