A tall figure in the centre wears a white and green flower garland, gold ceremonial necklace, rudraksha mala and a red-brown dhoti with gold border, with a swept-back long hair and a bare chest. Behind and around him, men and women in orange and saffron robes carry ceremonial staffs, a large orange parasol at upper left, and a decorated kalasha-style banner. At the right, a younger man in white kurta and white dhoti walks barefoot with a pendant on a chain, while trees and blue sky frame the scene.
