In the foreground a man in an orange shirt and blue shorts bends forward, and a figure in a large pink turban sits facing away. Seated on a red carpet, a shaven-headed priest in a gold-bordered orange-brown shawl with beaded necklaces holds a small book, while a white-clad attendant with gold necklaces on the right holds a silver staff. Orange-robed sadhus and white-clad devotees line the far side of the hall. A cameraman in a white shirt is filming, and an attendee in a pink shirt is at the centre, mid-stride. No one in the scene is identified as a person by appearance cues.
