A standing man in the foreground wears a rust-red sacred wrap over bare shoulders and a yellow waist cloth, with a heavy multi-strand gold necklace, gold pendant, gold armbands and bracelets, and a red bindi. His hands are folded at his waist and his eyes are lowered. Behind him a line of people in red and yellow garments stands with hands joined in namaskar, and a man in saffron clothes kneels at lower right. The setting is an outdoor area with large trees, a stone platform, a red tray and a bucket. Visible people: about 8 to 10 in the scene. The central man's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
