In the centre, a man in a white kurta and brown waistcoat stands with palms pressed together in greeting, facing two men in saffron-orange robes. The man in saffron on the left wears a gold-beaded necklace and smiles; the central saffron-robed man, seen from behind, receives a long white and red flower garland. Several men in white shirts, dark trousers and a green shirt stand around. Sunlight and a few trees fill the background.
