A person in a red-and-gold turban and red robe with a thick beaded rudraksha mala stands at centre, extending a hand toward a woman in white who holds fruit, while a man in white with a mala smiles beside her. Several people in red-orange robes with malas and a man in white with a long braid and white body markings stand nearby, some holding red fruit. A woman with folded hands in a blue sari stands at left. The central figure's appearance is not a clear match to the described cues, so the identity is left uncertain.
