A woman in the centre wears a red-orange turban with a gold emblem, a rudraksha mala with gold beads, and a red-orange wrap, her palms pressed together in namaste while she smiles. Beside her a man in a red-and-yellow turban and orange wrap also has his hands folded and a rudraksha mala. Behind them a bare-chested man in an orange wrap and a man in green stand near tents with colourful striped panels and banana plants. A figure in white stands at left. The person in the centre does not match any clear a person cues, so no identity is asserted.
