A man in an orange-red turban and orange-red robe with a white flower garland stands in the centre, facing away from the camera, while a man in orange saffron robes kneels in front of him with a garland. A man in an orange robe with a sacred thread stands at right holding a metal tray with white flowers and a small pot, and another man in an orange robe stands beside him. A man in a red-and-gold embroidered kurta stands behind the central figure, and a man in a checked shirt with glasses and a woman in orange stand at the edges.
