A man in an orange saffron turban and orange robe stands with palms pressed together in namaste at the centre of a crowded indoor hall. He has long dark hair falling past his shoulders, a red bindi, and wears a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant. Around him, devotees stand with hands folded: a woman on the left in a cream outfit, a woman in a white sari with a red bindi and gold jewellery on the right, a smiling woman in white with glasses, and several men in white shirts and a man in a blue checked shirt on the right. The appearance of the central figure with saffron turban, long hair and ornate gold necklace is a probable match for a person, shown in person receiving greetings from devotees. Dim ceiling lights and a dark background frame the scene.
