A group of people stands on red-painted concrete steps beneath a corrugated metal roof with blue steel supports, outdoors in bright daylight. In the centre a tall man with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl and holds a silver trident (trishul) upright, with a long staff beside him. Beside him a man in a saffron-orange robe and a man in a deep red robe hold staffs, and a woman in a green sari with gold border raises a hand. To the right, a woman in a pale kurta and a man in white with a red-orange shawl wave, and to the left a bald man in a white shirt with a red shawl and a man in white kurta stand with them. Many hands are raised in greeting. Around fifteen people are visible.

Around him men and women in orange and saffron clothes hold silver trishula staffs and a silver-framed object, with rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces.
