In the foreground, a person seated on a boat or platform wears a red-and-gold saree, layered rudraksha malas, a gold ceremonial necklace and gold bangles, with a white vibhuti line on the forehead.

A standing man in an orange-and-white shirt is at left, and a shaven-headed person in orange and rudraksha malas sits partly visible at the lower right edge.
