A central figure with long dark hair wears an orange-red garment, a multicoloured garland of white, yellow and red flowers, and a rudraksha-style necklace, walking barefoot and holding a long wooden staff.

A man in a tan shirt stands at the left edge, and devotees watch from the background near the hut.
