In the foreground, many devotees sit with their backs to the camera, most in white clothes with orange-red shawls, some with dark hair in a bun or ponytail. On the left, several shaved-headed sannyasis in saffron-orange robes sit in rows, some wearing rudraksha malas. At the far end, a figure sits on a golden throne beneath a white floral canopy, with ceremonial bowls and trays of offerings laid along the floor. Other seated attendants in white flank the throne area, and a standing person in white stands at the right edge.
