A smiling man in a rust-orange turban and saffron-orange robe stands centre frame, wearing a white and red flower garland and a rudraksha mala, with a small red mark on his forehead. He is seated before an ornate gold-coloured throne-like chair. Around him, several men in saffron and orange clothing and rudraksha malas crowd close, one in white with a gold border and a white tilak on his forehead, another gesturing with an outstretched arm. An elderly woman in white sari stands behind the chair. Warm evening light and a blue doorway frame the scene.
