A man in an orange robe with a white floral garland and multiple gold-coloured necklaces holds a metal tray of gold ornaments and red-tipped items, smiling as a man in a white shirt and dhoti bends to look at it. Behind him a bearded man in orange wears gold chains, and to the right a golden trident stands beside a man in orange with a gold necklace. Older men in white and grey shirts press their palms together, and women in saris, one in blue, stand nearby. A black board with white lettering and a white-and-red painted wall are behind them. A person in a white shirt on the left holds a folded paper. Around 15 people are visible, all in orange, white or grey clothing. An appearance-based probable Swamiji is the garlanded man in orange, shown with long swept-back hair and gold necklaces.
