A central figure with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange garment draped over the shoulder, a multi-strand marigold garland, and a gold armlet; a red and gold ceremonial umbrella with fringe is held over him. Men beside him wear white dhotis and a yellow shawl; one holds a gold kalasha-style vessel and another carries a white floral garland.
