A man in a white dhoti with a gold border and bare upper body holds a large polished silver ceremonial staff or mace resting on his right shoulder, with a rudraksha mala around his neck. His face and arms bear white vibhuti and a red bindi on the forehead. Two shaven-headed men flank him in saffron-orange shawls, one on the left with hands folded in namaskar and wearing glasses, the other on the right wearing a gold-beaded necklace and mala. The setting is outdoors under a large tree. The man at centre is a priest-like attendant rather than an identifiable candidate.
