The seated elder, bald-headed with a red-and-gold headband, wears an orange-gold shawl, a large rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, and sits eyes closed as if speaking. To his left, a bearded man in red robes with a red tilak and beaded necklaces listens. Standing behind are three bare-chested men in orange dhotis with white tilak and necklaces, one with hands folded. On the right, a smiling younger man with long hair, a flower-and-bead headband, orange shawl, multiple rudraksha malas and a white necklace sits beside the elder.
