In the centre, a saffron-robed figure with a shaved head and a flower garland receives a bowl or offering from a man in white shirt and white dhoti on the left, who holds a ladle-like implement over a metal vessel. A second saffron-robed man in an orange turban and white shawl with printed motifs stands beside him, facing him. Seated devotees in white clothes and white caps sit on blue chairs behind them, and more people in orange and white stand under the tent. A yellow banner with Kannada script hangs on the right.
