In the centre, a man in orange-red robes wears a long red and orange flower garland and walks barefoot; he has a tilak on his forehead and a gold necklace. Behind him, several men in matching orange-red dhotis carry ceremonial staffs and a large silver umbrella on a pole, with a silver tray held by one attendant. On the left, a line of women in saris and men in white stand with hands folded in namaskar, watching. Hanging decorations of leaves and beads frame the background, with a banana plant and a white stone platform at right.
