A large leafy tree stands at the centre, framed by arched structures covered in yellow flower garlands with red and green accents, with portrait photographs of a long-haired figure set into the side panels. In the foreground, several men wearing white kurtas or dhotis with orange-saffron shawls stand near a white-draped seat decorated with orange marigold garlands. One man in white bends forward near the centre, and a few others stand nearby. Wicker chairs sit in the lower foreground.
