In the centre, a shaved-headed man in orange saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and a wristwatch raises his hand to his mouth while a woman in orange blesses or touches his arm. Around them, men in white shirts and dhotis and a woman in a red sari with gold bangles reach toward the robed figure. A red curtain and a white fan stand in the background.

Behind them, men in white kurtas wear orange shawls and rudraksha malas, one holding a white tray of prasadam and rudraksha beads on a table. Seated women in the foreground watch, and a red curtain hangs in the background.
