In the centre, a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a gold necklace and a rust-coloured turban holds a small book and reads, seated on a dark patterned rug over a pink cushion. A seated elderly sadhu in orange with a grey beard and rudraksha beads sits to the left. A standing man in white with long hair tied up holds a paper and listens. Around them, sadhus in orange robes and white-turbaned men stand. Behind them, attendants in white with gold-bordered dhotis hold a tall ceremonial staff and a yellow parasol with fringed edges. Several men in pink and orange garments stand at the right, one holding a mobile phone.
